Recently a particular news item attracted my attention. The news was about Infosys. It stated that Infosys has got world's largest training centre in mysore. The training centre is a 1.44 million square feet mega-structure.Infosys spent over Rs 2,000 crore (Rs 20 billion) in setting up the centre, of which Rs 1,700 crore (Rs 17 billion) was spent on education- and training-related infrastructure.
The figures are mind boggling.
The irony is that on the same day I heard about a reputed company who decided to outsource its entire training activities to save money.
Justifying the huge cost involved in this training centre Mr Narayana Murthy stated"We saw a world-class training facility that could impress our clientele as a necessity of the times.
"Many of our clients stay at the Mysore campus when they visit us and it is important that they take away a positive view of the company."
Now the option is before you:Whether you want to save money or you take a long term view and decide to develop your people?
