Join host Bruce Belfiore and Susan Osborne, Strategic Learning Specialist with BenchmarkPortal, as they discuss Investments in Employee Training. Organizations that make large investments in people typically have lower employee turnover, which is linked to higher customer satisfaction and profitability.
