Why you should train your staff

Alan McKinnon has another good article on why companies should be looking to train their staff for technologies and skills which will be needed. One thing I do believe is that if most people are left to their own choices they will rely on seniority and time in a job for future career progression, rather than rely on improving their skill sets and positioning themselves for a proper job promotion.

I like his closing comment "Trained, knowledgeable people can control their jobs and deliver value. Untrained people cannot do this."
