The following are quotes from companies who have taken advantage of the Train to Gain initiative:
Widdowson has 85 staff trained to NVQ Level 2 in Warehousing. This has maximised the contribution of employees through their personal development and involvement. It has also improved the level of customer service and provided greater flexibility and operational efficiency.
"The scheme (Train to Gain) provided us with the perfect training solution," says Kara Cragg, HR Assistant at Widdowson.
"The difference in the business is marked," believes Dave Nibloe, the Human Resources Manager at Toyoda.
Finding training providers who matched exactly what Toyoda needed made sure the business got value for money from its investment in training. Staff morale improved - and that means better business results: "Participating staff have shown increased enthusiasm which is channelled into their work."
Management skills have directly benefited, with investment in developing team leaders. "
