(Tiper Stock Exchange) – Investing in staff training pays off: accelerate the production recovery capacity from the businesses and improves the effectiveness of green and digital investments. This was revealed by a survey by the Tagliacarne Study Center on a sample of 4,000 companies between 5 and 499 employees in the manufacturing and services sector which shows that 30.7% of the companies that are investing in training activities in the three-year period 2022-2024 count to overcome already this year pre-Covid production levels, against 12.3% of those who will not.
The effect “human capital” is even more decisive for improving the results of the investments made in the dual transition: 46.5% of the companies that are accompanying investments in digital and green with training ones expects to improve the production results achieved in 2019 in 2023, against 21% of those who, despite having taken the path of the dual transition, have not planned any training activities. But in the three-year period 2022-2024 has decreased share of companiesand who aim to train their own human resources respect to the pre-Covid three-year period (75.2% against 78.6% in 2017-2019).
“The attitude of companies on growth issues of human capital has evolved a lot. Until a few years ago, companies, especially the smaller ones, did not consider this a central element for development and training was mostly relegated to aspects connected to the functioning of the plants”, explains the general manager of the Tagliacarne Study Center, Gaetano Fausto Esposito, who added “the adoption of technologies 4.0 and green has instead brought out the close complementarity between growth of human capital and investment policies, in particular as regards the implications of a corporate organizational order”
