Benefits of Employee Training
- Companies that invest in employee skill development have a 15% higher internal mobility rate than those that do not (LinkedIn 2023 Global Talent Trends Report).
- According to Harvard Business Review, “organizations with a strong learning culture are 92% more likely to develop novel products and processes, 52% more productive, 56% more likely to be the first to market with their products and services, and 17% more profitable than their peers”.
- LinkedIn Learning’s 2024 Workplace Learning Report found that 7 in 10 employees say learning improves their sense of connection to work and 8 in 10 say increased learning opportunities give their work purpose. The report found that companies with strong learning cultures saw a 57% greater rate of employee retention over those with no emphasis on training and development.
