Why Companies Would Rather Die than Send Staff for Training

* Discover how to be a better manager in less than a month at here*
Although everyone knows the value of training your staff, plus the Singapore Government is giving back 60% cash or 300% tax deduction for training (under the PIC scheme), we at AsiaTrainers.com still receive registrations from individuals. The reason is that their employer refused to pay for the staff training, even though they know the Government is paying back 60% cash and 160% cash under PIC Bonus scheme. There are 7 reasons why companies won't pay for staff training:

They do not think that their staff is good enough to attend training. That means the staff has not earned the right to be trained and has to work hard to prove himself first
They are afraid that after the training, the staff will leave the company faster as he is now more skilled and knows more than the boss
They don't believe the PIC scheme or don't know how to get PIC funding
They never think the training is good for they believe that the best way to learn in this world is still experience. For the 7 ways to train your people like a dragon, read this article
They had a bad experience in the past when training turned out to be a waste of time and money
They are afraid that the more the staff knows, they higher is the chance of the staff taking over the boss's work
They are simply too busy and have no time to even eat or rest, how to talk about training? In other words, training is considered a luxury.

If any of the above reasons describe why you don't send your staff for training, we advise you to first go for training. We are offering 100% money-back guarantee for reason no. 4, for the other reasons, our coach will explain to you in person. If you do not have any of the above reasons and are still not sending your staff for training (need not be from us), we can help. Text to me at 8201-4347. Related articles:

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
