Should I Send My Staff for IT Training

It helps both you and your business when you send your staff for IT (Information Technology) training. It should be mandatory. Don’t assume that everyone who works you for or who you just hired, is a pro at navigating the internet or intranet. Just as well as they may not know how to navigate all the software programs that you have for your business to.

If your company is in retail, this is what hurt’s the business, big time. There is nothing as bad as a customer calls in to see if you have a product, and customer service cannot put them on hold to check. Instead they hang up on them. Not on purpose on behalf of the customer service representative. It’s just that they don’t understand how to do it, so they wind up hanging up on the customer. Another bad case scenario, is when the customer calls in to enquire about a product, then the customer service rep checks the store inventory and they don’t have it in stock. Instead of checking another store in the chain, to see if they have it, they tell the customer, “I’m sorry, we’re out of stock. You will have to call one of our other stores.” All of this occurred because they don’t how to navigate information technology to call the store themselves for the customer and help them this way.

Then there is nothing as bad as the person you hired. to be a cashier,is having trouble navigating the machine. You got customers putting stuff away and walking out who you will never see again. Also the person doing the pricing may not be able to understand the new OS your price gun company has just installed in their system. This will kill your business.

No question about it, you should send your staff for IT training.
