In the report release, Founder & CEO TeamLease EdTech, Shantanu Rooj, said, “ In a highly dynamic business environment, corporate L&D programs have evolved as a critical strategic initiative rather than an employee engagement activity. Investments in corporate learning, if done effectively, can substantially impact any organisation’s sales, revenue, and even customer retention. But the key lies in understanding the employee’s needs and crafting a program with clearly defined objectives”.
Neeti Sharma, President & Co-Founder TeamLease Edtech, added, “ In any organisation, learning, and development are pivotal to ensuring that employee priorities and performances align with organizational goals and organizations also need to adapt to the employees changing expectations and needs. This report attempts to quantify the ROI of L&D programs both for the employees and also for the employers. Though it is evident that well-thought training programs do deliver results and provide a competitive edge to organizations by increased productivity, higher retention, building better people supply chain and effectively reducing future hiring costs”.
