There are several myths that surround employee training and development. For instance, did you know that over 40% of new hires leave an organization within their first year if they do not receive quality training? We all know that constantly attracting and hiring new employees is costly and time consuming. Not to mention the severe impact it has on team morale and performance. In todays competitive, technology driven, and fast changing market having highly trained employees is essential. Let us take a moment to examine some of the myths about employee training.
