In this blog we will discuss four core points that may help increase your organization’s ROI.

In a recent study by Willis Towers Watson, 70% of “high-retention-risk” employees want to quit their jobs because they see no future in it. So upskilling is a great way to express how you value your employees and care about their career progression.

Look for talents internally before you post that vacant position and consider mobility first by upskilling or reskilling your current employees. This is a smart move compared to external hiring since you won’t only save time and money you will also hire someone you know and trust.

When companies invest in their current employees’ talents and care about their career progression through upskilling and reskilling their talents, employees feel valued. Hence, they are more likely to recommend you to their network – family, friends and ex colleagues- which will give a wide pool of extraordinary talents to choose from when it’s time to expand your team.

Employees who have an opportunity to grow are more loyal and trustworthy than others. Continuous learning and upskilling and reskilling opportunities encourage employees’ happiness, satisfaction, and motivation in their roles.

A constructive work environment will help your organization grow, and the first step to building one is to offer growing learning opportunities for your employees through digital transformation. Digital transformation is the key to increasing ROI.
