Don't trim your training budget
  Cutting cash or compromising on the cream
Partha Patnaik, GM, HR and Admin, Four Soft, said, “Since training and development budgets are continuing to grow in most organizations and are often very easy to quantity, they are often the first to go during a cost reduction drive, As the output ROI is often not immediate and many training programs expected, these are often treated by organizations as secondary activities which can be postponed till the revenues and profits improve.”
