   The Business Benefits of Investing In People
The business benefits of investing in people. Find out how Train to Gain could boost your profits post Budget.

Chat date: Wednesday 26th March
Chat time: 3pm

As the end of the fiscal year fast approaches, companies across the UK are taking stock and discussing new strategies for the year ahead. Now that all of last year’s paperwork has been tied up and Darling has delivered The Budget, it’s the perfect time to reassess what it will take to make 2008/2009 profitable in a less-than-encouraging economic climate.

The first thing business leaders need to establish is how much they are willing to invest to get the returns they are looking for, particularly when it comes to their workforce. Research from the Learning and Skills Council shows that 2 out of 3 businesses have a budget for training but how many of them use it effectively and how many are making the most of Government driven schemes?

The expansion of Train to Gain, as announced by Government in November 2007, means that businesses of all sizes can access training at even more levels so previous barriers of time and money are no longer applicable excuses in the coming year.

But what will this mean for businesses in real terms and how can investing in staff boost profits?To offer some exclusive advice and explain how investing in your workforce can benefit your business the Learning Skills Council are offering you the chance to have all your questions answered.

Logging on to join the webchat, which is hosted by Jaine Clarke, Director of Skills for Employers at the LSC, and marketing manager Jennifer Allen from the London based Hardy Group will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you have about training and how it can benefit your company on a financial level and in other areas of your organisation.

Jaine Clarke and Jennifer Allen join us live online at www.webchats.tv/webchat.php?ID=509 on Wednesday 26th March at 3pm to discuss the benefits of investing in your workforce.
