e-Learning
Concerns over cost and a reluctance to release people to attend training due to cost, are very good arguments for moving towards e-Learning, particularly if you have an Intranet or your staff have access to the Internet.
Our partner is the worlds leading supplier of E-Learning (independently verified by IDC reports) with over 1,750 course titles including IT and business skills, 400 online mentors and what are in our view the best software simulations on the market.
E-Learning can provide savings of anything up to 90% when compared to the costs of conventional classroom training, which is bound to please business managers concerned with cost!

Cost of training v. cost savings in Operations
Unfortunately it sounds like you will have to get your calculator out and start comparing the cost of removing employees from their day-to-day work (plus training costs if applicable) and do a direct comparison of the cost savings once the employees return to their jobs.
This should highlight savings in time taken to complete tasks, reduction in materials, shorter telephone calls etc. Hopefully this should convince the most account minded of managers. Good luck.
