Indianapolis, Ind.—The College Network™ is working to bring education to the forefront of leaders’ minds in organizations by partnering with leading universities to offer relevant, hands-on training as a benefit for employees.

“After speaking with Paul Hebert, the managing director of I2I, The College Network believes it is more important than ever for an organization to motivate its employees with education and training programs,” commented Cory Eyler, vice president of business intelligence and marketing at The College Network.

Providing employees with education and training as an option within their reward program, organizations will increase employee effectiveness and the quality of work completed, thereby increasing the overall effectiveness of the organization.

In his blog, Incentive Intelligence, Paul Hebert, an expert on motivation and incentives, states that “offering these types of rewards either–fully-funded or partially-funded–is more important than ever and needs to be considered when developing an overall reward strategy.”

With the recent rise in unemployment, education and training are some of the best ways to affect your bottom line as an organization and fulfill the needs of your employees. Give them the sense that you care about their well-being by making them more marketable in the unfortunate event of a layoff.
