How IT Departments Are Doing More With Less
The specter of outsourcing hovers over many IT departments today as companies struggle to contain their IT outlays. As a result, programmers, developers, and network administrators are being squeezed to maximize the effectiveness of their operations. This often leads to "task dumping" where more and more projects are piled on an already overworked department.
Dangled in the faces of these fatigued overachievers is the threat of being replaced by an outsourcer who may ship those same jobs overseas. How can you cope?
One way is through effective training. It seems obvious enough but the reality is that many executives don't realize there is a direct correlation between training and profitability. Studies by ASTD, Training magazine, and others have shown that, on average, the most profitable companies typically spend an average of 50% more on training than the least profitable companies in the same industry.
Less obvious in the IT industry is that many of the self-identified training needs are professional development topics, not program or application specific. In fact, MindLeaders data indicates the most popular topics include time and project management, communication, and dealing with change.
To be sure your training program aligns each employee's needs with the appropriate topics, try PLuS today.
