People 1st Announces: Business Failure Caused By Training Failure
A new report shows that restaurants and hotels are much more likely to go out of business if they do not train their staff properly.
The report into training and establishment survival shows that 28% of businesses that didn't provide training in the industry closed down, compared to only 3% of the businesses that did.
The report, conducted over a six-year period, follows People 1st's own research, which demonstrates that 33% of hotels and restaurants are currently not training. Twenty-five per cent of these employers say that nothing would persuade them to train, even though the majority admit that their business would benefit if they did.
Brian Wisdom, Chief Executive of People 1st, said: 'Businesses that don't train put themselves at risk of extinction. They also damage the reputation of the sector and lose valuable human resources. We are launching the UK Skills Passport service in April to enable the vast majority of employers to find the funded support they have never been able to access before. This will help them to provide skills and training for their workforce.
'I urge all hotel and restaurant businesses to consider investment in training and UK Skills Passport as a commercial lifesaver rather than an unnecessary cost.'
