Interesting read — The best ways to use your training budget to keep your employees motivated

Hard to believe, but it's almost September! For some companies, this marks the end of the financial year, while others may have a few months left. For many, however, this year's training budget does not roll over into 2024, which means it must be invested soon. Given the rapid advent of AI and its wide-ranging implications across IT departments—especially, perhaps, Cyber Security and Cloud Computing—can your company really afford to bypass training now?

According to an interesting collaborative article on LinkedIn, training not only helps employees gain new skills but also helps them stay motivated. This is particularly important now, given the rapid rate of change and that many are reaching the home stretch of the financial year. According to the LinkedIn community, the best ways to use your training budget to keep your employees motivated are to align training with their goals, offer them variety, and support them as they transfer their new skills to the workplace. Does that ring true? You can contribute to the article here.
