What if you saw training differently?

Successful A/E/C firms that capture pursuits face and embrace workplace training data. 📈

They don't make excuses about budgets, limited time, or keeping training in-house:

Nearly 50 percent of managers with 10 or more years of experience report having received a total of only nine hours of training.
Almost 45 percent of managers who have been in their role for less than a year haven't had any training.

Research from Lorman shows that internal programs may save your firm money in the short term, but the benefits are limited.

🎯Most employees crave fresh perspectives and innovative problem-solving strategies.

To scale and narrow talent gaps, proactive firms are willing to invest in external training.

A/E/C executives must be open-minded and know that scalability is intertwined with today's business development and communication skills.

How does your team measure up against competitors?

Savvy leaders recognize the return on investment includes more than projections and successful projects.💰

The bottom line is that the ROI of effective training elevates productivity, confidence, and morale while reducing employee turnover.
