Goes With You

Since we are benefitting now with the long-term possibility of remote working arrangements, perhaps another disruption could be coming in the training budget model. 

Some employees have a very high expectation that the employer should cover all training costs.  Others see professional development as their own cost.  It’s the trainee that benefits most.  And there’s every possibility that the employment arrangement might change in the future.  

Perhaps distributing the training budget directly to employees, with incentives to use it on recommended training, has merit. 

When you get trained, you get to keep the knowledge, even if you leave the company.
