Training your employees is important. You know that.
Most employers do train their employees when they first start in order to provide them with the knowledge and skills to do their jobs effectively.
This type of training is considered functional training, which can be as simple as training a new employee on expectations, or as complex as a multiweek bootcamp to bring new recruits completely up-to-speed on all of the nuances of a particular project that they will be working on.
Training that occurs when an employee first starts in their role allows them to get acclimated to the company and to the work and prevents mistakes in the long run.
It also ensures that they feel prepared to step into the role as quickly as possible and enact positive change for the organization.
But what happens once an employee has been trained the first time?

Training attracts employees and encourages loyalty.
Most employees see professional development as a benefit, which may give your company a competitive advantage over others in the job search. By offering training, you will attract employees who are looking to better themselves—and this is the kind of employee you want to have.
And, once a potential employee has accepted a position, they are more likely to feel valued if their employer is willing to provide training and professional development. As a result, employees feel more loyal to the company and are less willing to leave for another position.
