This morning, a research firm released the results of a survey of employers across North America that confirms what you might think, but were uncertain was true: continuing education increases both employee income and corporate productivity.
That's the results featured in a new research paper, "Lifelong Education and Labor Market Needs," which states that 96 percent of employers said continuing education improves job performance and eighty-seven percent said it has a positive impact on pay scales, especially in the healthcare field.
Employers claim that education allows employees to "manage the skills gap between entry-level and mid-level positions," and is a factor in promotions. And companies state that supporting "employee education for advancement" reduced turnover costs.
"Education gives corporations a way to improve their productivity and reduce costs, while also giving employees a way to increase their income and advance within the company," said Amrit Ahluwalia, managing editor of The EvoLLLution, an online newspaper . "The question that remains is how to increase corporate and individual participation in professional development education."
