Training can take a great amount of time and resources, but it can also positively affect your employees and your company by increasing productivity. In addition to learning how to complete new tasks and take on more responsibility, employees can learn advanced techniques.

Training reduces the turnover in the nuemployees. They are less likely to leave if they have the opportunity to learn new skills. It gives staff a feeling that they are valued and appreciated, and will therefore have more job satisfaction.

As an employer, you'll be more willing to hire a desirable candidate who lacks a specific skill, but then train them up in that area. They will then be ready for promotion and will have the ability to take on new challenges. It can also be a time saver by cutting down on the need for supervision.
