BENEFITS OF EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

"Job quality affects worker morale, job satisfaction, and the scope workers have to apply their skills and abilities to the job - all key contributors to productivity performance."

Employee training and development programs also help with employee retention. In the book Employee Training and Development (see Links and Resources below), Noe states that:

"Studies of what factors influence employee retention suggest that working with good colleagues, challenging job assignments and opportunities for career growth and development are among the top reasons for staying with a company."

Employee training and development programs prepare staff to successfully carry out the mission of the organization.

"... nonprofits that invest in their own organizations, particularly in the area of employee development and training , find that they are stronger and better equipped to carry out their mission."

Benefits of employee training and development include:

• Employees are better prepared to help the organization achieve its goals
• Staff are more productive
• Employees are more motivated
• Well trained staff require less supervision
• A pool of employees are ready to replace others who leave
• Staff that engage in continuous learning are better able to meet the challenges of changes in the organization
• Staff are able to manage/work on new programs
• Your organization will be more successful at attracting and retaining employees
