Train Well Vs Treat Well

Train Well, They Will Leave:

  1. When employees are provided with excellent training and development opportunities, it enhances their skills and knowledge.
  2. This can make them more marketable and attractive to other organizations, increasing the likelihood of them leaving for better opportunities.
  3. Highly skilled and trained employees may feel they have outgrown their current role or organization and seek new challenges elsewhere.
  4. The investment in training can sometimes lead to a higher turnover rate as employees become more valuable in the job market.


Treat Well, They Will Stay Longer:

  1. When employees are treated well, with respect, care, and consideration, they tend to feel more valued and motivated to stay with the organization.
  2. A positive work environment, with a focus on work-life balance, employee well-being, and a supportive culture, can foster a sense of loyalty and commitment.
  3. Employees who feel appreciated, listened to, and cared for are less likely to seek employment elsewhere, even if they have received better training or development opportunities.
  4. Treating employees well, beyond just their skills and competencies, helps build a strong bond and emotional attachment to the organization.


The key is to invest in training and development to build a highly skilled workforce, but also prioritize creating a positive and supportive work culture where employees feel valued and motivated to stay. By combining "Train Well" and "Treat Well," organizations can benefit from both skilled and engaged employees who are more likely to contribute to the long-term success of the organization.
