GIVE YOUR EMPLOYEES ACCESS TO STATE-OF-THE-ART


TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
Organizations that invest in the training and development (T&D)
of their employees at all levels benefit by having stronger talent
pools, increased retention, lower turnover, higher employee
satisfaction rates and, ultimately, healthier and stronger
organizations.

• More than 70 percent of organizations cite “capability gaps” as one of their top five
organizational challenges (Bersin, 2014).

• Top companies (defined as “mature companies”) spend 34 percent more on T&D than their
less mature counterparts (Bersin, 2014).

• Certification can increase the lifetime earnings of a professional by nearly 8% or over


$100,000*.
