Companies Need to Invest in Employees to Prepare for the Recession

Tara Powers, CEO, Powers Resource Center

BOULDER, CO, UNITED STATES, January 3, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — A recent KPMG International survey (https://www.salesforce.com/news/stories/reports-shows-fewer-workplace-learning-opportunities/) showed that 91 percent of CEOs believe a recession is coming in 2023. Businesses are scrambling to “recession-proof” their bottom line. Yet this recession is also coming during a unique period of “The Great Resignation,” which has shown only a slight slowdown of employees quitting en-masse that started 18 months ago. That means the best talent is leaving when businesses need them most, causing further instability that can unravel a company from the bottom-up.

In 2021, Salesforce conducted a survey that reported that 70 percent of respondents would be more productive and engaged if their employer invested in learning and development programs. A Gallup Poll reported that 48 percent of all employees are actively looking for more work, indicating further career training as their most unmet need.

During The Great Recession of 2007, the S&P 500 suffered a 35.5 percent drop in stock performance. But companies whose key employee groups reported a positive work experience at this time posted a remarkable 14.4 percent gain. The difference between the two numbers is staggering, yet shows an undeniable truth. Investing in training programs, especially during unstable times, ensures low employee turnover and a healthier bottom line in the long run. Yet with looming financial instability, how can companies fit training into their budgets?
