I am conducting an in-house training regarding Civil 3D in our company and I’ve been thinking… who benefits the most? Is it the employee or employer? It is supposed to be a win-win situation for both of them.
For the employee, learning something new is a good thing. It would make them more reliable. They can work faster. It would make their work easier. The most important is they will become valuable to the company.
For the employer, having good and reliable employees is good for the company. Can you imagine the projects that will come if the reputation of your company in meeting deadlines with satisfying result is exceptional?
This is good for everybody right? More projects mean more income but does it have a negative effect also? I think we should discuss this also. Having knowledgeable and reliable employees means competitiveness in our field of business but the downside is, the more knowledge the employee gains, the more they will become more marketable. They could end up asking for higher salary. Another question would be… How much are you willing to pay to retain these employee’s. Let’s face it, if the person knows almost everything, it would be easy for him/her to find a new job with higher pay. Many competitors also would be willing to hire and pay higher. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone. You know why? First, they get a reliable and knowledgeable employee. Second, getting a good employee from your competitor means crippling their operation.
I will correct myself… Who benefit the most? Is it the employee, employer or other employer?
