How It Works
Using the following process we can get you moving.
Productivity and Profit
Australians who use a computer as at work spend an average of five (5) hours using common desktop applications.
That is almost 80% of every working day!
94% of all desktops are using Microsoft Office products and yet international studies show that people actually use less than 20% of the productive capacity at their finger tips!
Just because staff may have been doing the same things the same way doesn’t mean there isn’t a better way!
Exposure to software does not create expertise!
The average 20% increase in productivity experienced by certified staff translates into an extra hour of productive capacity per day!
Could you use an extra hour a day?
Could your staff use and extra hour a day?

Quantifiable Outcomes
Too often organisations settle for a "Certificate of Attendance" as a sufficient indicator that some form of meaningful professional development has occurred.
Without a reliable way to verify skills organisations often rely on anecdotal evidence at best or no evidence at worst to access the return on their training dollar.
When you invest in getting your employees Microsoft Business Certified you know your training dollar will result in higher productivity, greater efficiency, increased asset utilisation and more confident and competent staff.
Why settle for a certificate of Attendance when you can have a globally recognised benchmarked qualification to that absolutely proves the training outcome.

Recognition and Reward
Mary Kay Ash, founder of of the multi billion dollar Mary Kay cosmetics empire observed "There are two things people want more than sex and money...recognition and praise."
Now there may be some water cooler debate about that statement but Human Resource and Learning and Development professionals will confirm that recognition and reward are high on the list of employee wants and needs.
Motivated energised staff drive organisations forward, create a vibrant place to work and an attractive place to invest.

Smart Recruiting
It costs an average of 2.5 times an individual's salary to replace an employee who doesn't work out, including recruitment, training, termination costs and lost productivity!
Add to that the cost of reduced morale, disruption to customers and dislocation of services and you have to ask; Why wouldn't you want to "hire smart"?
Yet when it comes to a job where a computer is going to be used less than one third of all employees demand proven proficiency or benchmarked skill levels.
"Yes I've used that program before" is not good enough.
Competitive organisations realise that proficiency expected is productivity improved.
Certified staff can prove proficiency.
Astute managers demand certified staff.

Improve Business Processes
The potential of any organisation lies in the hands of its workforce and the wisdom of its management.
An empowered organization is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success.
Investment in professional development helps employees commit to organisational success and will provide tangible benefits in the both quality and quantity of output.
Consider just one example of thousands:
Fluor Daniels, is a Fortune 500 financial planning and analysis firm.
They determined to train and certify thirty of their financial analysts and technicians in Microsoft Excel even though many of the users claimed that they had been "using the program for years".
The certification program resulted in cost savings equal to paying for four additional employees.
Why? Because the certified employees became proficient at using functions and features of the product that they had previously failed to leverage.
This in turn led to faster and more effective ways to accomplish business processes, communicate information and deliver customer service and satisfaction.

Three Critical Languages
Organisations in Australia have three critical languages.
The first is English.
If you can't communicate fluently in English your chances of success are limited.
Second, the language of money - making it, using it, and reporting it.
Successful businesses make wise choices based on risk, cost and returns.
Failure to understand the language of money eventually leads to failure.
The third language of business is digital communication.
There isn't a business anywhere that is not dependant in one way or another on the effective use of computers and the desktop applications common to most of them.
While many in the organisation may be "familiar" with the programs they are using the sad truth is that very few have validated their skills or proven their proficiency.
Put simply, "people do not know what they do not know" thus creating a vast reserve of untapped potential for greater success.
Just because the job is getting done, it doesn't automatically follow that is being done the best possible way!
Learn how to unleash that potential, how to quickly and cost effectively validate the digital fluency of your staff.
If you knew you could save potentially add an average 20% productivity gain for those using a computer why wouldn't you want to get everyone certified!
