8 Top Skills to Teach in Your Leadership Development Programme

When selecting an eLearning solution for your organisation, pay-per-user training models may seem like a manageable option. After all, you’re only paying for what you use - right? But beneath the surface, these models often carry hidden costs that can inflate budgets, limit scalability, and create barriers to employee development.

Here’s a breakdown of the hidden costs associated with pay-per-user training and how they can impact your L&D budget and strategy:

1. Growth Becomes Expensive

As your business grows, so does your workforce—and so do your training costs. With pay-per-user models, every new hire potentially comes with an added cost, creating a scalability issue.

  • The Hidden Cost: Growth penalties. You’re essentially punished for hiring more employees or expanding your training programmes.
  • Solution: An unlimited-user model removes this barrier, allowing you to train as many employees as you need without watching costs spiral out of control.
  • 2. Inconsistent Budgeting

    Predictability is key when planning annual budgets, yet pay-per-user models make this a challenge. Employee turnover, fluctuating training needs, and seasonal spikes in demand often lead to unpredictable costs.

  • The Hidden Cost: Budget uncertainty. These models can create unplanned expenses that disrupt your financial planning.
  • Solution: A flat-fee, unlimited-user model ensures you know exactly what you’re spending year-round, regardless of changes in workforce size or training frequency.
  • 3. Limited Access for Employees

    With pay-per-user pricing, organisations often restrict access to training in an effort to save costs. This limits opportunities for employees who may need it the most, such as remote workers, new hires, or those seeking to upskill for leadership roles.

  • The Hidden Cost: Lost potential. Employees without access to learning may feel disengaged or unprepared, ultimately affecting productivity and retention.
  • Solution: Unlimited access empowers every employee, at every level, to develop their skills and contribute more effectively.
  • 4. Administrative Burden

    Managing licenses, tracking user access, and ensuring compliance can create a significant administrative burden under pay-per-user models. HR and L&D teams spend countless hours managing training accounts, reallocating licenses, and ensuring usage aligns with budgets.

  • The Hidden Cost: Time and effort spent on administration rather than strategic initiatives.
  • Solution: An unlimited-user model simplifies administration, allowing your team to focus on creating impactful training strategies instead.
  • 5. Higher Cost Per User Over Time

    At first glance, pay-per-user pricing may appear affordable. However, as your team expands and training needs increase, the cost per user often exceeds expectations, especially if you’re training in high-demand areas like compliance, leadership, and IT.

  • The Hidden Cost: Long-term overspending. What starts as a “cost-effective” solution can become disproportionately expensive over time.
  • Solution: By paying a flat fee for unlimited users, you maximize ROI and keep costs low, no matter how many employees you train.
  • Why It’s Time to Re-think Pay-Per-User Models

    The hidden costs of pay-per-user training models can undermine your L&D goals, limiting your ability to scale, budget effectively, and provide widespread access to training. At Peritus Learning, we’ve designed our solution to eliminate these pain points.
