Cybersecurity Training Can Improve Retention Rates

Monday, March 2, 2020

One of the main reasons employees quit their jobs is a lack of professional growth opportunities. According to a recent LinkedIn report, 94 percent of employees say they would stay longer in their positions if they were given educational opportunities. “One of the top job satisfaction factors of today's workforce is learning and development opportunities,” said Eleftheria Papatheodorou, director of training at TalentLMS. “On top of improving retention, training benefits organizations with providing a more skillful and engaged workforce. It improves performance as employees are given the knowledge, resources, and skill set to do their best work.” One key area of training employers need to focus on is cybersecurity. Designing a meaningful training program and offering employees education in this field is a win-win. “Cybersecurity is at the front and center of enterprises due to the increasing number of malicious attacks in the workplace,” said Jared Lucas, chief people officer at MobileIron. “Proper employee training and frequent refreshers can equip employees with the tools to properly ward off cybersecurity threats on the front lines.”
