LEESBURG, Va.
The National Conference Center has released its fall white paper as part of the successful quarterly series Meeting Discoveries relating to meeting industry trends and helping meeting planners develop more productive meetings.
The new white paper, “Invest in Training and I’ll Stay: Why Training is Non-Negotiable for Companies to Compete and Retain Top-Notch Employees” examines training and development as the top motivators for today’s workforce.
The fourth white paper in the series takes a look at employees who are demanding more and better training. The document includes contributing research from Joni Mamana of The National Conference Center, Margie Kersten of Ernst & Young, Rodney Miller from Microsoft Corporation, and Fred Lang, a former Chief Learning Officer from the U.S. Department of Commerce. Employee engagement means a successful organization and employers are often surprised to hear that money is no longer the first motivator.
The white paper also reveals three pitfalls to insufficient training:
- Training isn’t limited to just new hires
- The best employees will leave if the company isn’t invested in their future
- Not training the workforce can result in expensive mistakes
