Important PSA:

You could be leaving critical holes in your business…and not even know it.

If you aren’t investing in data L&D for your team, here’s what you’re facing right now…

Productivity Loss

Did you know?

A lack of data literacy leads to a loss of approximately 43 hours of productivity per employee every year. 

That’s an entire week of time that could be better spent making moves for your business. In the US alone, this amounts to more than $100 billion in lost productivity.

When your employee has to muscle through a task they don’t know how to do, spend time Googling, or even wait on a coworker to show them/do the task themselves, that’s valuable time lost.

Widening Skill Gaps

That’s right: those skill gaps are costing you more than you think!

Let’s look at the most common data tool used in almost every business on this planet: spreadsheets.

Even though tools like Excel and Google Sheets are adopted by a majority of companies (the average worker spends 20+ hours per month working in spreadsheets alone), 70% of users are not proficient in these tools and 40% of employees say that they “struggle” when working with data in spreadsheets.

Often, users aren’t even aware of how much they don’t know. Without proper training, working with these powerful tools can become painful and overwhelming.

Increased Turnover: When Good Employees Suffer

Have you been losing good employees and don’t know why? Are you starting to see widespread burnout among your team?

A lack of skill development could significantly impact the mental health of your employees.

74% of employees report negative emotions like overwhelm when working with data, and 55% report that a lack of confidence in their skills increases workplace stress.

Haven’t lost employees yet? You may be at risk: 

The “Go-To” Excel and Power BI Experts in your office are doing extra labor – and they’re tired. 

When a skill discrepancy exists among your team members, someone has to carry that weight…and they just might start looking for a company that prioritizes holistic team tool literacy.

Your Bottom Line: Profits Left Behind

Not yet convinced that it’s time to invest in a data literacy program for your team? 

Here’s something that should be a five-alarm fire: per Gartner, poor data quality costs companies an average of $12.9 million each year. 

Whether caused by mismanagement or just a general lack of data literacy, this is a staggering number – and could make a huge difference for your company.

So…what can you do?
