I have chosen to review Limited Employee Training. Employee Training is an important part of culture development in the workplace. Studies show, employee training adds value to the workplace and according to CNBC, 94% of employees are more than likely to stay at a job if it offers training (Hess, 2019).

An organization may implement more employee training if they have the proper resources. Some companies may invest in employee training because it's first and foremost required by the state, such as nurses, teachers and physical therapists. Others may require employee training to make sure they're updated on safety protocols or new technology requirements.

From experience, training employees, even in a small facility, takes coordination- sometimes, it requires employees to come in on their day off, even if it's paid. Offering employee training is not always feasible, but it helps to guarantee all workers are on the same page. In my spa, we offer special reimbursements for tenured employees that take specialized continuing education classes. I personally have invested in several forms of massage therapy, including Thai massage, which cost me around $1,000 for the weekend. Currently, my business is contributing nearly $2000 to one of our employees going back to school for esthetics.

When a company invests in employee training, it shows that they genuinely care about the companies wellbeing. Personally, investing in employee has allowed me to reclaim my timeand freedom. As a manager, I have transitioned from being the one who performs all of the tasks, to having a team that never has to be asked to do anything. Because of this, I've been able to strategize a growth plan that includes being able to solve some of the issues like homelessness in our city.

Question:

• What specific initiative, practice, or change to your peer's evaluated practice could improve community or employee support? What are the benefits and risks of implementing your suggested initiative, practice, or change? If you were the primary decision-maker, would you implement your suggested initiative, practice, or change? In other words, do you feel the benefits outweigh the risks? Why or why not?
