Health and dental insurance are benefits that better employees are demanding. But you can also offer additional benefits that will attract better employees. Some of these benefits may cost less than you think. Good employees know they must be continually learning and improving their skills. They will search for a 'home' that not only encourages but provides regular training.
Most businesses concentrate only on direct job-related training.
Don't forget non-business training such as English, foreign languages, computers, etc. Employees also have interests that are not job related. Improving some of these interests may also help improve job performance. Don't forget to look carefully at cross training so they can learn to do other functions in the business which helps all concerned. A Learning Environment provides a chance to learn on the job.
