Irish Companies Move towards a Knowledge Economy

UK (SANEPR.com) July 31, 2008 -- Recent studies have found that by 2020, 60% of jobs will require skills that only 20% of the workforce possesses. In response, some companies will simply lay off employees with outdated skills, and then hire new ones with the necessary skills – a process that is both expensive and ineffective. The cost of replacing an employee is estimated at approximately 1.5 times an employee’s annual salary, which can translate into a significant expense for employers, especially when it comes to high-tech workers according to a study by the Hudson Institute.

Now more than ever many companies are turning to their training departments to help build and maintain there employee’s skills and credentials to a higher level than before. While training used to be viewed as a relatively minor function, it now plays a much more strategic role. Rather than being an isolated event or series of static events, training is now part of on-going professional development and its being integrated at all levels of a company.
