Skills training is one of the top perks employees look for in a job, and it's also been shown to be a motivating factor in increasing retention rates. "We've seen that learning and development can significantly impact both employee retention and attraction of new hires," says Elaina. "When employees are confident in what they're doing and they can see a clear path for their career, they're more likely to stay with the company." "OpenSesame is more than a content provider," Elaina says. "They actively work with me to curate our playlist of courses, doing the research based on what they know about the company. Their support is exceptional — and personalized. Everyone I interact with is helpful, friendly, kind, and personable. I always get a quick response to my questions, and they follow through to ensure I got what I needed." Elaina adds that OpenSesame's value comes full circle. "They offer learning and development tools directed at people in my role — monthly webinars for example, that cover topics of interest to L&D professionals. OpenSesame is helping train the training professionals, which helps me stay out in front and be better at what I do." Frontline workers primarily attend classroom training, but even here, OpenSesame curriculum finds a foothold. "We've curated a list of courses that supplement our classroom training and encourage employees who want to learn more about the topic to enroll," Elaina says. "It's been an ideal way to keep the discussions going and begin to affect positive change right on the front line." We've seen that learning and development can significantly impact both employee retention and attraction of new hires." Elaina Lund, Corporate Training Manager, REV Group
