For decades, employee training has been treated as a checkbox. A course here, a slide deck there, some mock role plays, maybe a quick quiz at the end. But today, leading companies are flipping that script, transforming training into a strategic asset that drives performance, attracts top talent, and strengthens the brand.
Training That Attracts and Retains Talent
According to SHRM, 83% of HR managers say that training programs play a critical role in attracting the right candidates. And it’s not just about hiring. The same study found that 76% of employees are more likely to stay with a company that offers continuous training.
That’s because employees, especially younger ones, see training not as a task, but as a signal. When companies invest in helping their people grow, it shows they care about long-term development, not just short-term output.
Why Most Training Falls Short
Unfortunately, most companies still rely on outdated, one-size-fits-all training. And while 40% of Fortune 500s use Learning Management Systems (LMSs) to stay competitive, even the best LMS content can be too passive, too generic, or too disconnected from the day-to-day realities of the job.
What’s missing is the kind of hands-on, role-specific, performance-driven learning that today’s workforce craves and that today’s business outcomes demand.
Connecting Training to Business Outcomes
In a recent survey of HR professionals, 66% said that tracking business KPIs should be a key focus of employee training. That’s not surprising. Training only adds value when it leads to better outcomes, whether that’s faster onboarding, higher customer satisfaction, or improved productivity.

Training as a Brand Differentiator
Companies that take training seriously don’t just perform better. They build better reputations too. In today’s talent market, candidates are looking for more than a paycheck.

When you invest in training that’s realistic, interactive, and aligned with real business needs, you’re not just helping agents succeed. You’re strengthening your brand, top to bottom.
