a small business with high turnover tells me that A) the company doesn't pay much B) The working conditions are rough C) The company is disorganized and has no leadership D) They don't care about their people, so therefore, there is high turnover. High turnover is for a reason but I can tell you this much, there is a Bimmer in the reserved parking space closest to the front door, and it ain't the forklift operator's car. And every Thursday, the Bimmer can be found at the golf course. There is some money, just not to be spent on employees' training. If I came across a small business that is hurting (really?), I would put an attractive package together to make it worth his while to keep whatever staff he has safe. I do this training stuff for the betterment of the operators in my region to ensure that everyone goes home safe at the end of everyday. Do I have to work harder than most? You better believe it! DO I work for less? That you better believe as well. You do this training as a commitment to peoples lives and safety, and obviously, to earn a living. But to host some cheesy training program online while the hosts are at the golf club or nudy bar partying it up while the subscibers' staff are dillydallying with these useless programs, online tests, and no practical testing, is definitely lacking, and if money is that tight, then why waste it on something that is useless?
