FACT #2
If you don’t offer learning and growth opportunities, your employees will take their professional development into their own hands by seeking employers who do.
Professional development is something you need to start taking seriously. According to our firm’s recent report, 78% of employers say they are providing training or development opportunities to help employees learn new skills, although the majority of professionals don’t agree. This points to a clear disconnect between employers and their staff.
All professionals can benefit from employee development, but many employers don’t realize how these programs can help them make a powerful investment in their company’s future success.
