Companies can't be bothered training their staff

So?!

Actually, I've got an email from Detlef. I'll do it later. 'Do it now.' I'll do it later. I'm doing this now -

Two-thirds of companies fail to provide employees with adequate training when introducing new technology, says TDM Group.

Yeah, yeah.

Hi Michael, 

According to Tech Pro Research, 70% of companies say they have implemented some form of digital transformation in their offices. What does that mean for the employees?

How would I know?! Just tell me.

TDM Group, a global Managed Business IT Service (M-BiTs) provider, conducted a survey across 307 employees and C-level business leaders, two-thirds feel they have not received satisfactory training in regard to new technology that is being enforced.

Well, they should stop moaning, and just go to the park and eat some ice cream. Problem solved! It's not rocket science.

Tarek Meliti, CEO of TDM Group - is passionate about helping companies recognize technology's potential to drive their business forward by harnessing the two elements together in order to earn maximum value. 

Oh, he's one of these passionate ones. Fair enough.

Tarek has a wealth of knowledge with over three decades of experience in the IT sector and is available for an interview in his diary regarding the current trends in the IT industry. Can I make a date for you to interview him next week?

No, no, no. I don't interview people. I have enough trouble talking to the Voice. 'That's true.'

I just want to be left alone.

'We can quote him though, can't we, boss?'

What?! Quote who?!

'Tarek.'

Yeah, okay.

Come on, son! 

Tarek Meliti, CEO of TDM Group, states: "Amid The Thing, most companies had to tighten their purse strings and focus on survival - pushing training to the bottom of their agenda. As they emerge from The Thing with ambitions to grow, training should be at the centre of the business strategy.

"Business leaders must not implement new technology without laying the foundations for its successful adoption throughout the organization. To achieve this, they should underpin the digital transformation process with effective - and regular - training for end-users. This will empower them with the skills and confidence to harness its potential."

Christ! This guy's not listening, is he?

Tarek, the sun is shining. It's nearly June. Have you ever heard of Aviva Investors? They don't train anyone. What do you think they'll be doing today?

Tarek?

'He's gone.'

No he hasn't. I can sense him.

Tarek concludes: "At best, employees receive training twice a year, while people working in the human resources sector typically receive training only once a year, highlighting that those businesses aren't training their employees enough. To address this, a comprehensive training programme should be established in partnership with your partners.

"As the business adopts a digital strategy to help it operate more effectively, training must be a core element of deploying systems within the organization. Your M-BiTS provider can use their experience to identify areas that will impact end users and training needs to be focused. Digital transformation cannot be successful without training being applied at the right stages. The end-users must feel confident using the system when it's deployed."

I give up!

No.

If you want more else, wait until I do the Refinitiv email.

Laters.
