90% of workers would stay in job if offered more training

90.5% of employees would opt to stay at a company if offered training and development, according to a recent survey by CV-Library.

The news comes at the start of Adult Learning Week, as businesses are put under even more pressure to ensure that employees are learning on the job. The report, which included over 2300 workers, highlighted an overwhelming sense of employee dissatisfaction, citing the happiest workers as those who are offered Continual Professional Development (CPD) by their management.   

Speaking exclusively to HR Grapevine, Lee Biggins, Managing Director of CV Library, explained the importance of promoting Learning and Development opportunities, saying: “Our survey results suggest that companies could do more to encourage learning and development in the workplace.”

“Businesses need to recognise the benefits that come with training and asses the long term advantages. There are a variety of training providers that can assist with both in-house and external training, so it’s easy to implement a plan that aligns with your business model.”
