"Employers have a lot to gain from investing in their employees' professional development. Continued education provides organizations with a more skilled and knowledgeable workforce. This can contribute to the company's improved processes, efficiency, and competitiveness. Offering growth and learning opportunities demonstrates a commitment to the employee's success, which can boost morale. A recent large-scale Gallup study found that 68% of workers believe employer-provided upskilling is crucial when considering a new job. Additionally, 48% say they would switch to a new job if it offered skills training opportunities." Wharton Online
