You’ve seen the numbers. Now, let’s take a look at a few ways you can implement the findings from this article.
- Invest time into training and developing your people. If you only take one thing away from these statistics, it’s this: don’t put learning and development on the back burner. For more information and ideas, check out the HR Encyclopedia articles on employee development

As you build your employer brand, put together a careers page, and conduct interviews, make sure to highlight the ways your organization helps its people learn and progress.
