Just finishing the 1st full week with my new Trainees, and an interesting comment came out from one of them.
His previous employer (an AS400 recruiter) had hired him with the promise of full training and lots of development. 4 months in, he asked where said training was.
“I don’t believe in Training people” was the reply from the owner of the company.
Which is obviously a very forward thinking approach.
Upshot is: he left, and came to us where he is actually being trained.
So the moral of this story is: if you don’t develop people, they leave. Remarkably, many companies seem to forget this fact and focus on the idea that ‘Money makes everything better’.
It will to a point, but we don’t just move for more money…
