With the war for talent becoming fiercer by the way, organizations are pumping billions into their corporate training programs to ensure that they are ahead of the curve. According to Bersin by Deloitte 2014 Corporate Learning Factbook, companies across the world are spending more than US$130 billion worldwide on corporate training. Current estimates shows that the corporate training market is expected to generate revenues of INR 32 billion by FY2020. Global expansion, increasing competition and the emergence of a record number of start-ups are forcing companies to look inwards. There has been a significant shift towards outcome-oriented learning in Indian organizations for both leadership training programs and sales training programs. As perceived, investing in an employee’s training has not only kept them engaged but has also promoted loyalty, resulting in lower attrition. On the other hand, it has helped the employees to chart their paths into newer territories they are not familiar with.

Corporate training is always a very good indicator of economic activity: when companies slow down they often cut training spending, and then as business grows they ramp back up to train new hires, sales people, and leaders. This is among the most discretionary of all corporate spending areas, so it is an excellent bellwether for business confidence. Organizations today suffer from a ‘skills supply chain’ challenge. Not only this, more than 70 percent of them cites "capability gaps" as one of their top five challenges, but many companies also tells that it takes 3-5 years to take a seasoned professional and make them fully productive. And the skills challenge is huge.

Identifying the skill challenge and coming to the rescue is Bangalore based PROTOCOL, a corporate training company that specializes in Corporate Training, Personality Development, Soft Skills Training, Presentation and Communication Skills, Image Consultation, Dining Etiquette and many more.
