Harvard Economist Juliet B. Schor, in her book The Overworked American, writes that "The average employed person is now on the job an additional 163 hours, or the equivalent of one month a year," compared to figures for 1969. You are spending an extra whole month away from your family, your activities, hobbies, and your life. Imagine if you had that time back; what would you do? You have to be more productive at work to be able to get the same amount of work accomplished in a shorter time.

How do you make the time spent at work more productive? The answer is that you have to learn to leverage technology, like Microsoft Office, to make your work life more productive. The only way to be more productive is to train yourself and (if you can) your company.

Did you know corporations save between 50-70 percent when replacing face-to-face instructor-led training with electronic content delivery (A Vision of e-Learning for America´s Work Force: Report of the Commission on Technology and Adult Learning. National Governor´s Association, 2001)? Did you also know that research shows online courses are 20% more effective in learning new material than a traditional classroom setting (Research by sociologist Jerald G. Schutte, of California State University at Northridge)? By the way, people who have training in Microsoft Office are not only more efficient but also get paid up to 25% more than people who do not have the training (Hamilton, B. Returns to Computer Skills and Black-White Wage Differentials. John M. Olin School of Business, Mimeo.)

You can see it seems to be a no brainer that you need education to keep up with technology so you can use it to be more efficient. On top of becoming more efficient you can save money and have better training by doing your training online.
