Self-upgrading, training and development â€" your lynch pin to life-long career development and self fulfillment

Confucius said: Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life. Many of us seek that life-long fulfillment so that work can become a pleasant hobby rather than a means to an end. On the reverse, many people transform their desired hobbies into life long careers and find great joy doing them. In the modern day context, companies who have invested in training and development; not only see their staff acquiring new and relevant skills for the team and personal benefit, but also see an improvement to their recruitment branding, with better acquisition and retention of talent. High turnover is normally associated with low productivity, lack of enthusiasm and poor motivation of workforce. A good staff develop ment program normally helps to reverse such problems by lowering turnover rates. New entrants to the workforce should disassociate themselves or convince companies they join who are not investing in training and development to do so. Organizations tend to put aside such development programs as it gets in the way of getting their jobs done. Every task has a higher priority
