Five Employee Fears
Many companies have made drastic changes in the past year in order to survive. Companies have cut salaries, benefits, and other incentives while increasing responsibilities, workload, and expectations. Fear and uncertainty leads employees to shop around for other opportunities. Below are five employee fears that may have your employees searching for greener pastures.
* Job Stability – Will I still have a job in 6 months?
* Future Advancement – Will I have opportunities for advancement in responsibilities and compensation as planned?
* Individual Competitiveness – Will my skills be up to date if I lose my job?
* Company Competitiveness – When the economy turns around will we be ready?
* Company Adaptability – Is the company doing everything they can to succeed?

An old adage is . . . “The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave is NOT training your employees and having them stay!”
4 top ways training helps your company:
* Increases employee morale
* Improves efficiency and performance
* Stimulates meaningful insights and ideas
