If productivity requirements mean greater state-of-the-art equipment, then we must train persons in these fields. I constantly say that we are technologically challenged. When the high-tech gadgets which we buy fail – there seem to be a few people who can fix them.
HR trainers must therefore be conscious of the training requirements which will make us globally ready – if we are globally ready we will be CSME ready. We will need to use the Internet more, use journals - find the right areas where training is being delivered, and encourage investment in training.
