Increase employee engagement, retention, and productivity with customized business training

A LinkedIn report from 2024 found that 90% of companies are concerned about and want to improve employee retention. Meanwhile, 76% of employees are more likely to stay at their workplace if they could benefit from additional training or professional development opportunities, according to a Microsoft survey from 2022.

Providing opportunities for employees to fill skill gaps and grow their careers can benefit employers in many ways. Training for employees leads to increased workplace engagement and productivity, more satisfied customers, and higher profits.
