If you need to nudge your boss for the time off to attend, hit him or her with this little research nugget: A three-year study of 2,500 firms by the American Society of Training and Development found definitive evidence linking increased training investments to more favorable financial results for companies. Companies that invested in training noted higher shareholder returns and higher profit margins. What’s more, research from Hackett Benchmarking and Research showed that companies who spent more on employee training averaged fewer voluntary employee turnovers—only 7 percent, compared to 16 percent for those who spent less.
