BECOMING INDISPENSABLE IN AN UNSTABLE JOBS MARKET– UK EMPLOYEES SAY TRAINING IS THE KEY

findcourses — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:27:32 +0000

A recent online survey conducted by findcourses.co.uk, the UK’s leading site for Professional Development Training, revealed that employees in the UK believe the best way to prove their indispensability to employers is to participate in professional training to niche their skills.

The study was conducted through a survey of findcourses.co.uk users and discovered that 48% of respondents believe the best way to prove their skills and become indispensable to their employing organisation is to partake in a training programme in order to develop specialised skills. Nearly 24% of users felt as though working overtime or being innovative would accomplish the same outcome, while a combined 28% felt as though they were already indispensable or were powerless when proving their indispensability.

These findings are of important significance as UK unemployment figures have reached their highest since 1994 (according to the office of National Statistics. The results of this survey indicate that is it more important than ever for employees to prove their worth to their respective organisations. The Chief Economic Advisor from the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) stated, “These pre-festive-season jobs figures are so bad even Santa’s elves will be feeling insecure. The quarterly rise of 128,000 in unemployment is itself enough to dampen the spirits but what’s worse is news that private sector job figures were falling at twice the rate as had initially been expected.”

The same study was conducted in Finland, Denmark, Germany and Sweden and yielded nearly 350 responses. German users exhibited the highest number of respondents (32%) feeling powerless when it came to proving their worth to their employers. Swedish and Danish users displayed similar responses with 48% of uses from both countries maintaining that professional training was the key to proving their indispensability. Finnish users were the most divided; exhibiting no clear pattern between what is the largest contributor to proving indispensability. However, Sweden and Finland had the least number of respondents believing that working overtime was the best way to prove their worth to the company.

“It is clearly becoming more important than ever for employees to prove their indispensability,” said Kate Butterworth Site Manager at findcourses.co.uk. “In the midst of a recession, employers become increasingly likely to cut back and refrain from hiring, which perpetuates unemployment and escalates the need to develop new skills through professional development training.”

UK EMPLOYEES SAY QUALIFICATIONS ARE ESSENTIAL TO PROVING THIER SKILLS

findcourses — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 09:59:51 +0000

A recent online survey in the UK uncovered the importance of qualifications and discovered that employees find that courses resulting in a qualification are essential to proving their skills in today’s competitive job market.

The study was conducted through a survey on findcourses.co.uk, the UK’s leading site for finding Professional Development Training, and discovered that 41% of users claimed that participating in courses that result in an official qualification are essential to proving their skills and are important for their development, while only a combined 5% believe that qualifications are either of no importance or are simply nice to have.

These findings mirror the current job climate, as the UK job market contracted in November 2011 for the first time since July 2009 (according to the latest Report on Jobs from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and KPMG). A public policy adviser at the CIPD recently stated, “The figures point to a slow, painful contraction in the jobs market. Many firms appear to be locked in ‘wait and see’ mode, with some companies scaling back on employment decisions against a backdrop of increasing uncertainty as a result of the eurozone crisis and wider global economic turmoil.” Where organisations are hiring, they are becoming more specific about the skills and experience that they seek. The recruitment process is expensive for companies, so employers are looking to fill their positions with the right candidate first time, and those that have recognised qualifications, offer the lowest risk.

As well as taking place in the UK, the same study was also conducted in Denmark, Finland, Germany and Sweden and yielded over 400 responses. The majority of German (87%), Finnish (44%), and Swedish (48%) employees claimed that a course resulting in a qualification was required for their current positions, while Danish respondents were evenly split amongst the answers.

“This data is perhaps indicative of a more competitive UK job market,” said Kate Butterworth Site Manager at findcourses.co.uk. “As unemployment rises, more individuals vie for a smaller number of positions, meaning it is more important than ever for job seekers to bolster their CV’s with a professional qualification. Courses that result in professional qualifications serve as a legitimising reinforcement of skills, while allowing CVs to stand out from the rest.”
