DID YOU KNOW?... There are more chickens than people in the world. A cat has 32 muscles in each ear An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur A dragonfly has a lifespan of 24 hours The giant squid has the largest eyes in the world A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds DID YOU ALSO KNOW?... If just 1,000 of the people in your organisation could touch type to a minimum speed of 30wpm, you could have the equivalent extra power of: 15,714 additional days work = 71 additional people How? The average two finger typist keys in at about 15wpm. A competent touch typist can easily achieve over 60wpm. Simple arithmetic tells you that someone keyboarding for 1 hour a day could save between 15 and 20 days (yes days!) a year by simply increasing from 15wpm to 30wpm! So, by ensuring each person touch types to a consistent 30wpm, each person gains an extra 15 days per year. *Assuming 1,000 staff x 15 days = 15,000 extra days work! SOME WORKPLACE - "DO YOU KNOWS"... People with good core skills are more confident, less muddled in their approach to work and less prone to stress. According to national statistics, an average person takes 5.4 days sick leave a year, through stress related illness. Hidden inside stress related issues is often the inability to cope with increased workload – the assertiveness to say No!, incomplete skills sets, poor time management etc…… If the fundamental core skills were a compulsory part of everyone’s training, you have the potential to reclaim at least 50% of the sick leave. 50% of 1,000 staff = 500 x 5.4 sick days = 2,700 extra days work So far you have regained some 17,700 work days and saved £1.92m.                   ...Not bad ! Do you know, what your people say?... 31% of staff on training know they can do a better job but can’t get off the working wheel long enough to learn 81% of staff on training, train for their own benefit Client facing staff have, on average, a weekly task list of 8 IMPORTANT things to do, however they only achieve 2 out of the 8! 99.8% agreed they would benefit from Time Management training of one form or another 64% are aware they need to improve their spelling, grammar and general written skills   "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail" Abraham N Maslow Pitman Training offers you the tool box, ...not just the hammer!
