Travel firms should increase levels of training for their employees to enable them to work across a broad range of sectors when there is a drop in bookings, an expert has claimed. Claire Steiner, chair of education and training at the Institute of Travel and Tourism, said companies should do everything in their power to avoid a situation similar to the 1990s when a lack of adequately-skilled staff caused significant problems. "In the past, they had made redundancies and suddenly when things turned round, they had no trained skilled staff," she said. She added that companies should try to establish alternative ways of cutting costs rather than resorting to redundancies. Ms Steiner pointed out that this is one instance where training is especially effective, as retaining staff will increase both loyalty and productivity. According to Deloitte's Entrepreneurship UK: 2008 report, some 31 per cent of companies feel a lack of quality staff is the most significant barrier to business growth.
