Cultivating leaders: unlock your team’s potential

Author: BLR

Investing in employees is one of the most effective means to improve engagement, increase retention, and develop leadership skills among employees. BLR’s training product, TrainingToday, offers hundreds of ready-to-use courses that can propel employees to reach their full potential.

Improve engagement and retention

Investing in employee development communicates to employees that they are valued and that they have a future in their organization. This was shown by LinkedIn’s Workplace Learning Report, which found that 94% of employees say they would stay at a company longer if it invested in their career development.

Offering development opportunities doesn’t just increase retention, it also has a profound impact on employee engagement and productivity. A 2024 study by Gallup found that organizations who made a strategic investment in employee development reported 11% greater profitability and were twice as likely to retain employees.

TrainingToday’s courses on Business and Professional Skills offer training on vital subjects that are relevant to employees at all levels. Workers who take these courses will develop strong communication strategies, effective project management techniques, and acquire soft skills to better lead teams.

Develop effective leaders internally

According to an article by Forbes a staggering 77% of organizations report gaps in leadership. As an increasing number of existing leaders retire and transition from their roles, many organizations are going to struggle with succession planning. With nearly 10,000 baby boomers retiring every day*, there is a growing need for employers to cultivate their next generation of leaders and fill these leadership gaps.

While these numbers and statistics may seem concerning, there is a route to success. By providing existing employees with access to high-quality leadership training, organizations can improve their succession planning efforts and ease the transition of responsibility to a new generation. A Deloitte University study on leadership programs found that organizations that invest in their leaders are 2.4 times more likely to meet their performance targets.

TrainingToday’s Leadership and Management courses provide valuable tools for organizations interested in developing existing leaders and offer new leaders the skills required to hit the ground running. Improve succession planning, reduce turnover by promoting from within, and ensure new leaders are educated on basic compliance do’s and don’ts with these engaging courses.
