Dissatisfaction among training professionals

Tue, 30 Jun 2009

A report reveals that 56% of qualified professionals employed by businesses providing training in the workplace would consider moving to another employer, while 26% believe they could earn more working elsewhere.

Other key findings by permanent recruitment specialist GPRS Recruitment point to the reasons for this widespread dissatisfaction: 81% of those surveyed receive no regular performance-related bonus, 19% have received no pay increase in the past 18 months and 40% said that their salary reviews are currently on hold.

When it comes to training the trainers some British businesses are falling short: 31% of qualified NVQ assessors and verifiers surveyed have funded their own training and qualifications, while 25% have not been provided with work-based training or induction by their current employer.
