Why do employers spend less money and time training new employees for their jobs compared to 30 years ago?
I have been working at two seperate jobs now (both call centers). One was at a call center for a law firm and that only lasted one week. The training was only one week and didn’t go very smoothly. It seems that companies here in Texas are training people less and less. A majority of the time new employees really don’t know what to do on the job. It seems that training new employees is not a top priority of companies these days compared to 30 years ago and are spending less money on that training to cut costs. My question is why is this trend happening and is there any way of changing it so employees know what their job functions and roles are and know what to do on the job? Is this in other sectors too? I am now working in a call center and it is related to DSL and the internet and they only train new employees for a week and it only lasts 20 hours and they pay very cheap and expect people to pretty much be a network technician when they are completed. Why do employers do this?
News Update: My company (a call center) told me they have a high turnover rate too, doesn’t really suprise me since training is so fast. I am working and I have a disability and that is a shock here in Texas since those with sight impairments face a 90% unemployment rate here in this state. The main reasons are employers, state beauracracies/agencies, and most importantly Transportation. Remember this is a Bush (R) state and nobody in Texas knows how to drive and that is why there are so many wrecks and fatalities here.
