The Opportunity

Your business runs better. Knowledgeable, trained employees understand the context of their role within the broader organization. They know what they need to do and how they need to do it, successfully.

Happy employees bring business value. Research shows that employees who receive training are more productive, have lower turnover rates, are more efficient and need less supervision. In a nut shell, a prepared employee is a happy employee.

Retention goes up. Talented, ambitious employees constantly look to expand their expertise and sharpen their skills. When an employer offers meaningful learning, development and advancement opportunities, employees experience personal and professional satisfaction. Studies also show employment tenure is extended.

Employees have renewed energy. Training creates opportunity to: 1) refresh employee loyalty, 2) demonstrate the company’s commitment to growing people, 3) build the employee knowledge base, and 4) highlight intangible company benefits. Based on statistics, an employer is more likely to attract and keep engaged employees if professional development opportunities are provided.

Risk is mitigated. Many legal problems stem from employees acting improperly, misunderstanding or disrespecting the laws, regulations, and policies that govern their day-to-day job responsibilities. Compliance training reduces risk exposure. In fact, documented training of management level employees strengthens an employer’s position when defending employment actions.
