TV Trainer "In the News!"

1/25/07

Wow!

The folks at TV Trainer are humbled, flattered and extremely grateful to have two, prestigious national publications write about us.

After reviewing our product and training methodology (as well as our understanding of the Latino worker and the employers that seek them), we were selected by Restaurant Business to be included in their "50 Great Ideas" (January issue. We're #22 - check it out here).

And if that wasn't enough good news, a few weeks later...

Fortune Small Business magazine recognized TV Trainer as a new approach to teaching "workplace English." You can read that article here.

We're thrilled with the great publicity! However, we're more satisfied helping companies like yours "faster-train and longer-retain your valued Latino employees."

Call me to learn how TV Trainer teaches work skills and English "a job at a time."

"The High Costs of Employee Turnover."

Got an interesting email today from TJ Schier, a consultant to the restaurant industry. He's come up with a very clever spin on calculating the cost of employee turnover in the restaurant industry. He's calling it, "Turnover Freedom Day."

Here's the jist of what he said...

Training new employees is expensive! Estimates range from $500 - $2,300 per (McDonald's spends $1,600). Costs include; recruiting and hiring replacements, training time, trainer time, lost productivity, uniform costs, etc.

Based on an industry average turnover of 200%, a 30-employee restaurant grossing $800,000 a year, averaging 10% profits could be working up to May 17th just to cover yearly turnover costs. And that's at only $500 training costs/employee.

That should be enough to convince anyone (outside of the CFO, who already knows) of the value of effective training designed to assist in employee rentention.
