Most companies spend 30–50% more on training than they actually need to.
Why? Because they rely on outdated methods, repeat unnecessary sessions and don’t track the actual return on investment (ROI).
What if you could train smarter — not harder — and save up to 40%?
But to get there, you first need to understand why strategic resource management is key to cost-effective training.

Cutting training costs isn't about slashing budgets or limiting development. It’s about smart allocation:
