Why bother with training?
![Page 5: The Role of Staff Training in Medical Tourism fileThe Role of Staff Training in Medical Tourism Maria D. Georga – Regional Manager LaingBuisson](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050717/5e15838609933f25ad138282/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why don’t clinics train their
people?
They believe:
• It’s too expensive.
• Trained people will leave.
• Trained people will ask for higher
salaries!
![Page 6: The Role of Staff Training in Medical Tourism fileThe Role of Staff Training in Medical Tourism Maria D. Georga – Regional Manager LaingBuisson](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050717/5e15838609933f25ad138282/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why don’t clinics train their
people?
They believe:
• Training time means a loss of
working hours.
• Engaging with their staff is not
important.
• Training doesn’t add value.
