Another 651,000 lose their jobs
The first Friday of every month brings a little more despair as we learn how many households are impacted by this recession. It is truly heartwrenching.
So as I drive in the office, I imagine how many CEOs, CFOs and department heads are thinking “I need to protect the enterprise.” Certainly, making the decision to layoff your fellow teammates is one of the toughest a leader makes in business.
Discretionary spending is often a target – and rightfully so. Corporate training often is usually an easy target. However, as we ask fewer of our teammates to do more in this environment, we need to ensure they have the requisite skills to be more productive than ever before. Also, as a leader, you want to reinforce with the team that you are fully invested in their development and success. Sending a message that you are cutting back on their development does not help this.
One way to both reduce costs, while providing the tools for more effective training is what we developed here at Interactyx. TOPYX™ provides for an affordable, collaborative eLearning experience. And, if you reduce just two instructor-led training events - where someone needs to fly somewhere, rent a car, a hotel room and eat up more carbon footprint, you can get TOPYX up and running – probably within two to three weeks with our implementation team. You can test drive TOPYX right now.
So, another first Friday has come and gone. Maybe it does need to be so dreadful. I hope you consider investing in your team’s productivity, cut instructor led training (and reduce your carbon footprint as a result) and have a payback in a matter of weeks. TOPYX can make that happen.
