Not really all so long ago, most businesses treated their staff as valuable assets — even as family members. Once a hiring investment had been made, employees who made a reasonable effort to do what was asked of them could expect to be shielded whenever possible from the ups and downs of the employer's business and awarded that gold watch and a pension when it was time to retire.
Today's small business owners still care about the people who work for them, sometimes to the point of giving more than they end up getting in return. But the tremendous economic and informational pressures facing employers seem to have irrevocably changed their capability to express appreciation with costly awards banquets, trips to conventions, and even off-site computer classes.
Ourselves small business owners over many years of these transitional times, the principals at Advancement Technologies, Inc. are sensitive to both the employer's need to gain maximum benefit from each dollar spent on the staff and to the workers' less tangible need to be recognized for the value of their efforts.
Most importantly, we have seen that employer and staff requirements do not need to be mutually exclusive. When business owners invest in training their staff to progress in job-related skills, employees feel valued and their confidence and productivity levels rise.
ATInc's in-house technology training programs are custom designed to improve performance in the very tasks staff members carry out from day-to-day — not just in generic skills that employees need to somehow figure out for themselves how to apply when they get back to their desks.
Standing as a bridge between management and workers, ATInc assists each company with pinpointing the most pivotal opportunities for expanding employee skills to significantly accelerate business achievement.
