Higher Business Management Exam Technique

Here’s a thing. So you are given a question to describe the benefits of staff training.

 

The command word is Describe. Now if you just listed what is in the marking schemes then you will get a Family Fortunes noise (I don’t know how to spell that sound).

 

Eg Increased productivity

 

That is not good enough.

 

However if you use words such as “as”, “so”, “because” then you will deliver the goods.

 

So you could say one benefit of staff training would be increased productivity because employees will have updated skills, making them better at their job.

 

This is a worthwhile activity to do when you have the past paper books in front of you and it is all too easy to just give in and copy it out. You need to add something to answer the questions “Why?” and “How?” or my favourite “So what?”
