Issues…• The company spends almost

$1200 per employee per year for training and development.

• Despite working hard, a beginning CPA gets just a corresponding pay.

• The purpose of attracting aggressive students was that they need people who can work aggressively, but this aggressiveness ended up with being boorish and callous with clients.

• Employees lack interpersonal acumen.

Issues…

• Training executives think that any added expense (for interpersonal development) may not justify; besides this they also think that already too much is being spent on education and training.

Issues…

• Another issue is that after receiving the training, many employees switch the company nullifying the expenditure on training and education.

Issues…

• 70% of the investment on training should concentrate on technical skills and 30% on interpersonal acumen. This won’t reduce the expenditure but this may sound as a justified expenditure to the senior training executives.

Remedies
