Her diaphragm responds by contracting faster, pressing on her lungs, desperate to catch some air, making her gasp rapidly, violently. Her chest feels like someone is sitting on it, collapsing her sternum toward her spine. Minutes become enemies, and letting two or three pass is too many. So when she forgets to leave her rescue inhaler by her bed, she gropes and crawls down the stairs to find it. It's the sort of thing that no one would consider ordinary—unless you've been living in the industrial suburbs south of downtown Detroit a long time. Then it passes for routine. en-us Fri, 16 Feb 2018 10:46:17 https://old.workstickers.com/view-career-solutions/26748_professional-dev-t-recruitment-tool-for-your-organization When it comes to employee training, many employers turn a blind eye. They think that hiring people who already possess the desired skills will suffice, and let on-the-job training do the rest. However, in doing so, they fail to consider the consequences. For example, they fail to consider the costs associated with hiring highly skilled and experienced workers. Additionally, they also disregard the costs pertaining to undertrained staff. Unfortunately, this is a problem that is all too common. 87% of millennials consider career growth opportunities important for professional growth. A survey of around 200,000 employees around the world has found that 66% of them feel their current employers don't provide them with enough resources for professional growth. Additionally, studies show that around 40% of employees leave their position within the first year due to poor job training. Career Training as a Tool for Recruitment Young workers today look for jobs that offer more than just a salary. What they want most of all are experiences that facilitate learning, help them improve their skill set, and grow professionally to advance further in their careers.

A development program makes sure that all employees can perform tasks independently and without needing constant supervision.

Results from a survey show that more than 70% of high-retention-risk employees prefer leaving their organizations as a last resort to advance their careers. The promise of professional development improves retention. Workers become more confident when they feel like they can perform their jobs effectively and are, therefore, easier to retain. For employers, it's a win-win situation. Providing access to career growth opportunities attracts applicants. Additionally, incentives like these show new employees that you care and are as interested in their professional growth as they are. How to Start?
