Although stability and good compensation are still much appreciated, they’re no longer enough. Modern employees seek purpose and development in their jobs. They want to learn new skills and test their abilities in different roles. In fact, several surveys have pointed to boredom and lack of career growth among the top reasons why employees are leaving their jobs. And when it comes to remote workers, a TalentLMS survey on remote work showed that 76% of employees who have received soft skills training have no plans to leave their company.  \nHere’s where employee training comes in, turning your workplace into a place where employees satisfy their ambitions, find fulfillment, and stay in the long run. Offering employees the tools they need to take on new challenges will have an impact on employee performance and employee morale, too. Evidence points to the latter being an even more significant benefit with wider positive implications.  \nWhen we’re talking about employee training and development, we don’t mean on-the-job training that takes place when a new hire arrives. Proper onboarding is essential, of course, to familiarize employees with daily tasks, company policies, and, in some cases, compliance regulations. Onboarding also helps employees acclimate and feel comfortable around their new colleagues.  \nHowever, Learning & Development gets really interesting once you’ve moved past the initial “getting to know you” phase. After employees master all the basics, they should have access to resources that will help them become more productive, enhance their soft skills and emotional intelligence, or even cultivate competencies that could take them to a new career path.  \nTherefore, to make a long-term difference in employee performance and engage your workforce, training should become part of your workplace culture.  \n4  \nIntroduction  \nLearning and development opportunities should always be available, through different mediums. For example, you can deploy your own training courses or buy ready-made ones, organize talks and seminars, or cross-train employees through job shadowing.  \nWhether employees will take this opportunity and expand their skill set is up to them to decide. But, as an employer, it’s your responsibility to offer employees options and tools to work more efficiently and be prepared for the future workplace. This will help your company keep up with industry trends and new technologies, safeguard your place in the market, and innovate. At the same time, employees will be more satisfied with their jobs and less likely to knock on another employer’s door.  \nIn a company where training is the norm, an employee training manual comes in handy.
