The Benefits of Employee Training

The Benefits of Employee Training

Any organization, whether it is established and is thriving, or whether it is new to the U.S. market and still finding its way, should strongly consider the benefits of employee training.

While training definitely has its costs – both in time and money spent – it is an important investment.

Training should not be limited to teaching someone a new job or a new skill once they have been hired or promoted. Rather, training should be implemented as a regular course of business.

The Benefits of Training

  • Employees feel valued when their company invests in them and their skills.
  • Well-trained employees can improve your bottom line. According to the Association for Talent Development (ATD), companies with formalized training have a 24% higher profit margin than those that spend less on training.
  • When employees have the resources they need to do their job, their performance tends to increase, and employee retention tends to follow. According the Shift Disruptive Learning, “40% of employees who don’t receive the necessary job training to become effective will leave their positions within the first year.”
  • Training can help the organization identify weaknesses, thereby providing an opportunity to strengthen areas that need improvement.
  • Employee morale can increase as a result of training.
  • When employees are trained, output tends to be more consistent because workers can work more efficiently within the implemented procedures.

Training is a broad term that can consist of many things:

  • Training on specific software – don’t let your company fall behind technologically
  • Technical skills, like writing, coding, analysis, etc.
  • Training on products or services offered by your company – you want all your employees to be “sales people” when it comes to your products and services
  • Safety training – which is especially important if your employees are expected to work around heavy machinery or in otherwise unsafe conditions
  • Team training, which can improve workplace relationships and increase efficiency
  • Soft skills, like leadership, presentation, communication, and problem-solving

The bottom line is that it is cheaper to retain employees than hire new ones. So invest in them to ensure they stay with the company long-term and continue to add value to you and your customers.

I have a foreign-based client who has been in the U.S. market for a few years, but was struggling with their sales agent relationship. MI's unique IBI program allowed this client to bring order processing and marketing in-house, without having to add staff. Now the business is in a better position to penetrate the U.S. market. I will definitely refer future clients to the MI team.
Joseph J. SantanielloAttorney, Shumaker Attorneys at Law
We regularly refer our clients to Management inSites for assistance with setting up their U.S. business, and we work with MI to provide visa support for foreign-owned U.S. companies. They have a wealth of expertise and knowledge of multiple industries, business best practices, and practical experience that makes working with them easy, and sets companies up for success.
Meredith W. BarnettePartner, Garfinkel Immigration Law Firm
Working with a foreign subsidiary is very different from working with one whose parent company is in the U.S. The questions you need to ask are different, and the process itself can be drastically more complicated. We enjoy partnering with MI because they know about all of those pitfalls and can help companies grow without making the classic mistakes.
Doug MitchellSenior Sales Executive, USI Insurance Services
We hired MI to act as our controller since our U.S. team is small. And we are glad we did! We unexpectedly had turnover in our internal bookkeeping position, and MI was able to seamlessly carry out the functions while they searched, hired, and trained our new employee.
Jaume GrauManager, TecCoat
We have worked with MI across several clients. We find that we are able to get answers and process tax returns faster when MI is involved. MI's experience and knowledge of the US makes them a great partner for companies entering and navigating the U.S. market.
David JonesPartner, GreerWalker CPAs & Advisors
I have been referring clients to MI for over ten years because their services are tailored to foreign companies and meet the operational needs my clients previously struggled with. Plus, MI’s end of year financial packets are professional, making my firm’s tax services easier.

As a family-owned and operated business, it was important that the team we worked within the U.S. understood our needs and worked for our company as if it was their own. Management inSites has been that and more.
