Many employees feel training is 'overlooked'

Many employees feel training is 'overlooked' New research has found that a high proportion of employees fell that training is overlooked at their company.

A study carried out by the Learning and Skills Council has found that, of some 1000 employees questioned, nearly a third of them said they would like to train on the extra day of the leap year.

Additionally, around 42 per cent of respondents stated that training is unlikely to be given while more than half of employers questioned said they would.

While improving productivity, earlier data from LSC shows that it can be highly beneficial to workers too as they can expand their salary from £2,000 to £3,000 every year, which may be significant for graduates looking at what a potential employer offers.

Commenting on the extra day provided by the leap year, Train to Gain director Glenn Robinson said: "This is the perfect opportunity to speak to your employer and ask for the training you need. Improving your skills will help you take control of your future and will have as much impact on your career as it will on your general well being."

The LSC is a non-departmental public body that aims to improve the skills of the UK's workforce.
