Gael Academy has been designed to help our customers get the most out of Q-Pulse by ensuring users are fully trained in the features relevant to their job-role.

However, there are a number of Q-Pulse users who are telling us that despite a willingness and a desire to invest in Gael Academy at an organisational level, their hands are tied financially.

So, the reason for this blog is to help you convince your budget holders that there are tangible savings to be made by investing in training – and importantly, the increasing costs if you don’t!

A white paper published by IBM entitled “The Value of Training… and the high cost of doing nothing” reveals a number of valuable points:

• A structured training programme helps retain staff – the white paper reveals that 41% of employees at companies with inadequate training programmes leave within 12 months versus 12% at companies with excellent training programmes. This has huge financial implications given that the cost of replacing a skilled employee ranges from $75,000 to $450,000
• The companies that spend more on training average 24% higher profit margins than companies that spend less on training
• One company’s research estimates that every dollar spent on training yields $30 in productivity gains across 3 years

So if your financial stakeholders need some persuading why an investment in Gael Academy makes good business sense, download the IBM white paper from our media library. If your'e not a member of Gael Community, you will be asked to register, don't worry, it's free and very easy to do so.

To support your case, why not arrange a demonstration and a no obligation trial of the Academy?
