A well known headhunter put it like this,
"...improving job performance":  your employees become more interested in finding solutions (out-of-box) with newer skills, newer views, and newer industry solutions from other literature, other competitive colleagues. This is an investment that is business centered but also a personal achievement level with maybe a push for a BA, Licensure and Certifications in many American fields of study. But what the Company wants is more productivity and a better way to keep an employee that sees its company wanting to invest in him for better positions, better wages and better confidence she (he) solidifies their future with by being helpful in tackling extensive task, while keeping the retention level low, its as they say a "win-win" creative solution. Jan 4, 2023
