Why Your Investment in Talent Development Matters
Retaining talent through development programs, like those offered by Ascent Learning and Development Solutions, isn’t just an investment in your employees—it’s an investment in your company’s future. The cost of losing talent is steep:
- Companies spend an average of $4,129 to hire a new employee, not including onboarding and training costs.
- It takes 42 days on average to fill a vacant position, causing delays and missed opportunities.
On the other hand, companies that focus on internal development see increased employee retention, reduced hiring costs, and improved performance across the board.
