Reducing Risk by Training the Next Generation
In 2005 the decision to train staff was not a hard one. With high monetary incentives paid to employers and low fees it was a bargain.
Since 2005
• Trainee subsidies being paid to RTOs have remained the same.
• The cost of RTO compliance has gone up dramatically, pushing fees up.
• The amount of trainee incentives paid to an employer has gone down.
So what drives employers to train employees today?
• Licences
• WH&S
• Food safety
Clear and easy to measure outcome.
But what else do you get from training?
Training can help to:
• Attract new staff to your business.
• Improve the image of your business
• Reduce staff turnover
• Provide career pathways within your business
• Increase productivity
Training can help to:
• Decrease the need for supervision
• Increase safety to decrease work-related injury/illness
• Maintain employee credentials/certifications
• Increase job satisfaction, morale and motivation among employees
ROI research indicates that the increase in labour productivity resulting from targeted training can yield a return on investment of more than 30%. (ROI calculator Queensland government)
What does this 30% look like to you? Is it:
• Less mistakes.
• More observant staff.
• Loyalty.
What does this 30% ROI look like to you? Is it:
• More ownership of their roles (act like a owner)
• Increased resilience (think on their feet)
• More harmonious less stressed staff
Risks identified by Oyster farmers in 2012 included:• Environmental issues• Health & Safety issues• Food safety standards • Water quality • Government• Supply of seed• Disease, introduced pests and predators• Pollution • Customer payments• Plant and equipment break downs
Do you think that trained staff will help to overcome these?
In summary
With the cost of staff making up a large % of the cost of production on most oyster farms? Can you really afford not to train them?
People capability first, sales and profit follow.
