Training - Luxury Or Necessity?
While high industry turnover in any country is often deemed expensive, for companies in UAE the impact is significantly higher.
Most countries in the Middle East have a high recruitment cost. As 95% of UAE's work force is expats, companies incur expenses for visa, labour card, medical insurance, emirates ID card and the mandatory visa deposit fee. Moreover, the validity of employment visas has gone down from 3 years to 2 years, in turn substantially increasing the per year cost of employment visas.
Can turnover be reduced? The answer is yes. Maintaining a stable workforce by reducing employee turnover makes good business sense, as it can result in significant cost savings to employers.
Among other means to increase retention, focus must greatly be on staff training. Training itself can reduce the probability of turnover, while increasing performance, productivity and bottom line of any business. Investing in job-related training is a way to show employees they are a valued part of the company.
If a company was to incorporate continuous internal training processes within its essential functions, internal promotions can become the norm. The company would benefit on costs - recruiting from within is always cheaper than recruiting externally. This would not only minimize the downtime of a position being vacant, it does wonders for employee morale.
Internal promotions are only possible if all employees are continuously trained to take on their “boss’s job”. I feel, managers / supervisors must be appraised on their subordinates performance as well as their own. A manager/ supervisor must only be considered for a promotion, if his / her subordinate can take on his / her position. Companies across the Middle East would benefit the most with policies such as this. It will ensure all managers / supervisors have a vested interest in training their subordinates.
Having said that, don’t underestimate the importance of training managerial/ supervisory staff. Training your senior staff on ways to lead teams more effectively, manage conflict, and improve their overall leadership skills could help to reduce company turnover.
Training works best when incorporated within the core functions of every department. This can be done, without incurring high costs. Once designed correctly, its practically on autopilot and can be supervised by the respective department heads.
