Overview
More of Americas major corporations are now outsourcing
staff trainers to reduce operating costs and maintain profitability
during the economic slowdown. In fact, some of the largest
companies are actively reducing the number of staff trainers
on payroll and are negotiating for contract trainer solutions
and rates. In todays uncertain times, the largest corporations
cannot afford to retain expensive staff trainers with low
classroom utilization time.
Why
Outsource Staff Trainers
Industry and government studies prove that outsourcing is
a key strategy to help companies reduce operating costs and
increase profitability. Outsourcing growth has exceeded all
market expectations in the last 10 years for one reason: it
pays good dividends in revenue and profit! Companies who realized
the true total costs of their various business operations,
outsourced non-core staff and competencies to volume staffing
specialists. By not paying for more staff than they needed,
outsourcing freed up financial resources and enabled managers
to refocus on marketing to their clients, business development
and managing the business to make it more profitable.
Add up all your direct and indirect staff trainer costs -
compensation, benefits, training, recruiting, managing, holidays,
sick time, conferences, travel, etc., etc., to define your
total trainer cost and be prepared for sticker shock. When
you compare actual time in the classroom vs. non-classroom
time, the high cost differentials will become apparent. Contract
trainers and all the benefits of using them, are the best
solution to reduce high business operations costs.
