|
Is this for
small to
mid-sized
businesses?
|
Yes.
Small to
mid-sized
businesses
need to
comply with
state and
federal
laws. Hence,
they need
affordable,
on-demand
training
that is
easy-to-implement,
always
accessible
and
easy-to-use
with limited
training
staff.
Additionally,
small to
mid-sized
businesses
need
training
solutions
that not
only fit
into a small
budget, but
also have
the ability
to scale as
the business
changes and
grows.
SkillSoft®
is just the
answer!
|
|
Is this for
large
businesses?
|
Yes.
Large
businesses
can reap the
same
benefits
that small
to mid-sized
businesses
do, but
perhaps on a
“larger”
scale. The
more
licenses
purchases,
the bigger
the cost
savings.
|
|
Why is this
good for my
business?
|
“Companies
concerned
about
keeping
their top
performers
and
attracting
new
ones…might
be
sweetening
the pot with
non-monetary
benefits,”
according to
a survey by
Menlo Park,
CA-based
Accountemps.
When CFO’s
were asked
about the
perks they
planned to
offer or are
already
offering
employees,
subsidized
training and
education
topped the
list at 29%.
“On the
heels of the
recession,
perks are a
cost-effective
way
employers
can reward
and retain
staff and
attract new
employees,”
said Max
Messmer,
chairman of
Accountemps.
“The most
popular
incentives
are those
that aid in
career
development…Offering
training
helps
businesses
develop a
more skilled
workforce.”

How much
does this
cost?
|
Chamber
members
receive a
20%
discount.
The cost
will depend
on which
package is
chosen and
on how many
licenses are
purchased.
Obviously,
the more
licenses
purchased,
the greater
the cost
savings.
