Online Training Improves Employee Retention


As we all learn to live and work in the 'new normal,' learning how to retain your employees has become more important than ever. That's why we thought we'd share with you a great article on how online training can provide the connection to your staff that's required to ensure they feel confident in their positions to help ensure long-term retention.

Written by Paul White, Ph. D., his piece called "How Training Focused on Connectedness Improves Talent Retention." Paul is a psychologist who specializes in the language of authentic appreciation and how to express it meaningfully to others. He is the co-author of three books and co-creator of the Motivating by Appreciation Inventory, which corporations, non-profit organizations, and government agencies have used.

His interesting article shines a light on some key subjects in talent retention through connectedness, including:

  • Resilience training to encourage long-term success
  • Positive psychology to enhance workplace connections
  • Remote and hybrid employees need connectivity
  • Creating a positive workplace to retain employees

 

Retain Employees Through Training

 

Paul's main takeaway:

"Training professionals are not always aware of how much their work is directly linked to talent retention. Yes, effective onboarding can help new hires feel adjusted and more likely to stick it out during the initial transition to their new role, and effective training builds confidence and competency. Research and practical tools about work stressors can help learning leaders address the need for team connectivity and inclusion. Through these new insights, training professionals can then utilize the discovery and resources to impact employee engagement and retention in their organizations directly."
