    Good training helps with employee retention; except …

    Usually a good training program plays a significant role in reducing turnover. However, after a discusson on this topic the other day, a truth found its way to the table:

    No matter how good the quality of a company’s training program, it can’t stop people leaving because of crappy management.

    So — if you’re trying to improve employee retention by improving your training programs, first take a hard look at management. If people are being treated like crap, no amount of extra training is going to keep them around.

    Suggested further reading includes:

    Management jobs require new thinking
    Employee loyalty can disappear
    Ten universal principles of the workplace
