Accountancy companies hoping to make the most of their staff should be more open to giving them extra time off for training, it has been suggested.
As the current financial crisis is predicted to become a recession in 2009 many companies are stuck between a choice to retain staff or cut costs, but allowing accountancy graduates extra time off to attend more training courses should benefit the whole company, suggested World of Learning.
"The UK's economy is based on the skills of the people that work within it, so without doubt the more educated and better trained staff are, the more likely they are to make a valuable contribution to their companies," explained World of Learning senior conference and marketing manager Alison Church.
Employment has been predicted to contract by one per cent throughout 2009, although the affects of such a contraction will not be evenly spread.
The accountancy industry has already experienced a tough year but with extra skills taken on through graduate recruitment, companies can make the most of 2009.
