Developing the Talent You Have: Strategies for Training and Development
Dilemma of development.
Others fear they are picking up the tab as employees can leave after, etc.
Some employers see the benefits.
BUT it has been shown it leads to higher employee satisfaction, and higher satisfaction decreases turnover!
Skills Training Aims:
to help employees master the skills they need to advance within the company.
