I worked at a place where they didn’t focus much on training because they were worried trained employees would leave for other jobs.

I think training is really important to help everyone grow.

Our team had over 45 people. I set up a rule that everyone from new starters to managers had to complete some training hours every year.

I liked to send a few of us to workshops by MIA, ACCA, MICPA on a regular basis.

After attending these workshops, we’d share what we learned with the rest of the team in a sharing session. This way, everyone got to learn new things.

Sometimes, I would also run training sessions on Fridays on topics like auditing, taxes, accounting, and soft skills. These would last between 40 and 60 minutes.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like this method made us more engaged and willing to stay longer at the company because we all had chances to learn and improve.
