Upskilling by the Numbers

Price Waterhouse Cooper just published a research document focused on the power of upskilling your employees.  By giving your current luxury sales specialists and managers the opportunity to grow, like training them to use the new eCommerce sales channel, the company will boost online sales and have an overall positive impact.

• Easier and cheaper to address skills gaps in your company by training your current employees, rather than going out and hiring new ones.
