Workforce attrition studies have shown that successful employee training programs produce many benefits to companies and organizations including:

  • Improved employee performance
  • Enlarged company profits'
  • Elevated competitive edge
  • Heightened worker productivity
  • Improved customer satisfaction

Firms that invest $1,500 per employee in training compared with those that spend $125 experience an average of 24 percent higher gross profit margins and 218% higher revenue per employee.

“We have been able to significantly reduce the number of hours lost to accidents and the cost of meeting our OSHA-mandated training requirements through the use of TPC’s online safety courses.” –Joel G. Training Coordinator Mitsubishi Polyester Film LLC

Just a 2% increase in productivity has been shown to net a 100% return on investment in training. (source: “The 2001 Global Training and Certification Study,” CompTIA and Prometric).
