6 Reasons Why You Should Invest in Training & Development

 

 Invest in something that lasts. 
Invest in Learning and Development 

 Acquire new knowledge and skills




1. Better employee performance
This applies to all sectors, departments and levels of employees within your business.

3. Lower staff turnover
Investing in training is a far more effective way to spend your money (rather than on recruitment costs). By learning new things that will help their career development, your employees will feel more valued, and are therefore more likely to stay loyal.

4. Higher employee engagement
Lack of training and development can have on a person’s engagement and ambition. The majority of your employees will greatly value and appreciate the opportunity to learn.

5. Develop the business
Regular training sessions ensure that your teams are staying ahead of the curve; to beat the competition. This way you’ll always stay ahead of the curve, offering the very best service to your customers.

6. Improve your bottom line
Maintaining high levels of employee engagement is crucial to boosting your business’ bottom line. It’s only logical that by improving your employees’ skills, they are going to be better at their jobs, which means more business for you.

The Make-Or-Break Career Skill No One Talks About

It goes without saying that you have to be responsible and alert to succeed in your career, no matter what your career path is.

It is possible to reach a ripe old age without growing this muscle, and it always a shame when that happens. At Human Workplace we call this must-have career muscle "Fast Learning." What does it mean

  Even if your team is made up solely of supremely talented individuals, there are always a few employees who stand out from the pack.  According to the  Harvard Business Review ,  these high-potential employees  account for an average of 5% of any company’s workforce.  High-potential employees (HiPos) excel in their current roles, but they also possess the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in managerial positions and senior roles, too. Importance of identifying top talent for employers High-potential employees need to know that you recognize their potential. In fact, a  recent study  showed that 77% of HiPos feel that being recognized as high-potential talent is important to them.  These workers want help in identifying a career path and they also want support in carving that path. For these reasons, it’s critical that managers identify HiPos early on in order to retain them and keep them engaged.  Employers who identify top talent increase the likelihood of retaining top talen
