Smart businesses and leaders invest in training

I am stating the obvious I know but many leaders just do not value training time versus production time. In these challenging times in world markets we often forget that to stay ahead of our competitors we need the best and most well trained staff. We read and hear daily of massive lay offs across the world especially here in Europe and in the USA. I will make a general statement here and say that just maybe it would be smarter to spend money training and developing staff for the upturn which will surely come in a year or so. Scania here in Sweden are one such company investing in training and development at this time.
