Why should training be sticky?

You have two choices in business. You can train your employees well, equipping them to do their jobs well. Or you can carve out time, energy, and resources to retrain or hire new employees. When people are unequipped to do their jobs well they either leave or need to be trained a second, third, fourth, fifth…you get the picture…time.

Here are a few stats on training employees.

• The cost of replacement is over 20% of an employee's salary, which is way above the cost of training.

• Gallup suggests 87% of millennials look at their jobs as a development opportunity making employee training imerative.

• Up to 20% of US employees quite within 45 days of their employment. This employee turnover can only be reduced through proper employee training and onboarding.

• According to an IBM study, 84% of employees in best-performing organizations are receiving the training they need, are 10% more productive, and have resulted in an annual savings of over $70,000 annually.
