The best...invest!

Hi folks,

This morning I attended a meeting organised by an engineering training company that I work with. Their message was simple; it pays dividends to invest in good quality training.

In this period of reduced budgets and uncertain futures it is naturally our first response to cut out luxuries and only spend money on the basics to stay operational. However, working at this level will only ever produce average results. So as a business what we need to ask yourselves is, do you want to emerge from this ‘recession’ limping along with the others or visibly ahead of your competitors on track to great profits?

Everyone agrees that pro-actively increasing your workforce health gives a range of substantial financial benefits, as does the research evidence but many companies are like scared sheep. Why not be innovative, make a calculated investment, and stand out as an industry leader?

For example, if you’re buying a new car, you could save money and get an old second hand little ‘run-around’, or you could invest a little more in a newer model that you really want, that will be more reliable and will deliver the desired results. Both options will get you from A to B but the second option will improve your performance and pay-off as both a short and long term investment.

You have the workforce, we at Occupational Fitness have valuable training at a great price, so let’s take your company forward together!
