The importance of employee training
While there is plenty of information available on how to measure the return-on-investment (ROI) of employee training, the truth is, it’s difficult to justify spending time on things that can’t prove they work.

Do the math
A lack of training isn’t just about paying out more than you get in return. The truth is that in a knowledge economy, the value of a company is the knowledge it has to offer. It’s no longer enough for a company to say that it trains its employees. It has to demonstrate the value of investing in a learning culture and showing Effective eLearning content is one of the most important aspects of growing your business.
