Does Workplace Education Make A Difference?

The answer to that question is a resounding "Yes."

Companies achieving the greatest improvement in performance between 1998 and 1999 tended to report a higher level of spending on training, both as a percentage of payroll and on a per-eligible-employee basis. The training performance link becomes even clearer when considered with the results of a 2000 study by ASTD. The study ties training investments by 575 publicly traded companies in one year to financial performance gains in the next year.

But there's another question that needs an answer, too: Do U.S. workers need additional training and education? The answer is an equally resounding "Yes." According to data from The Conference Board, Inc .More than half of U.S. high school graduates do not have the basic skills necessary to do their jobs. .More than 40% of the workforce has inadequate literacy skills. .Even 16% of college graduates have inadequate basic skills.
