Valuable company assets such as Coca-Cola’s secret formula, KFC’s 11 herbs and spices, or drones on construction sites, are what sets businesses apart from their competitors. We can clearly see the significant financial returns when a company has this kind of competitive advantage. 

Behind these valuable assets are the talents and skills of employees. That is why it is so important to help your employees continue to learn whilst working. If you want to improve your business and gain a competitive advantage, you need to nurture the skills of your employees so that they can continue to thrive.

How can you improve your business? By investing in the training and development of your employees. It is your employees providing your clients with the goods and services your business supplies. It is your employees representing your brand and business. You want to ensure that you are getting the best out of your employees’ performance. This all contributes to business performance and in developing your competitive advantage.

We also need to consider the rapid development of technology and how this impacts the Building and Construction industry. Because of this, we are now experiencing a shorter shelf-life of an employee's skills set.

To ensure you and your business don’t get left behind, it is vital that you continuously upskill yourself and your team. Life-long learning is not just an idealistic concept, it is a reality of how we work today and in the future.
