It has been claimed companies in the UK must offer skills training to help the country remain competitive on the global stage.

How do you view the skills training you offer to your staff? Are your sales people trained with the latest sales intelligence and do they regularly attend sales training courses?

All major employers in the UK must give their support to skills training, according to one expert.

John Connolly, a senior partner and chief executive at financial services firm Deloitte, has stated that urgent action is needed to tackle the shortage of “employability skills”.

In turn, this will be vital to ensuring that UK businesses are able to remain competitive on the global stage, he stated.

Mr Connolly said: “In the current economic climate, the skills of the UK workforce will be critical to business survival and growth.”

Although many firms are facing difficult decisions when it comes to employment, they still want to make sure their workforce is equipped with the skills needed to “compete in more difficult markets”, he added.
