employees prefer to learn at work and that
94% of employees would stay at a company
that paid attention to the development
of their career. Peer-to-peer training keeps
people in their comfort zones and, if made
part of their KPIs, can become a part of
their role which helps them overcome one
of the biggest problems that any training
programme faces – time.
It empowers them, allows them to work with

Organisations that support a culture of
peer-to-peer learning and continuous
skills development are not only investing
in the future of their people but also in
the stability of their business. Research
has shown, time and again, that those

search out talent, this is a powerful edge
in a time when skills are the difference
between delivering innovation and
watching it happen. n
