Helping fund employees\u2019 higher education is a major boost to employee loyalty.\u00a0 Employees are less likely to look at other employers or to leave when a company invests in them.\u00a0 It\u2019s a double win for the employer, because the employee can use the education to advance projects, create innovation, and lead teams.\u00a0 A highly trained and highly motivated workforce is a powerful corporate tool.\u00a0 Especially in times when companies are competing for talent, companies need to be creative and open-minded about providing benefits<\/a> that attract and keep quality employees.<\/p>\n

Here are some degrees and certifications that pack a serious punch in terms of corporate wellness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

MBA<\/h2>\n

An MBA, short for Masters of Business Administration<\/a>, is the classic degree employers like to invest in.\u00a0 Employees with MBAs are trained to take on management and other leadership positions within the organization.\u00a0 No company can succeed without good leadership, which is what makes this a natural fit for HR to fund.<\/p>\n

Leadership<\/h2>\n

Even if a company doesn\u2019t want to pay for a full MBA, there are a variety of leadership<\/a> and management certifications that can be a cost-effective alternative and still provide your business with augmented leadership skills.\u00a0 If HR can hone in on the particular skills a team needs, such as teaching, inspiring, creative thinking, strategy, there are classes and certifications that focus on those tools.<\/p>\n

Project Director<\/h2>\n

An employee who is a certified project director<\/a> can take on leadership of all manner of projects.\u00a0 Project directors ensure efficiency and quality, watch out for the company\u2019s interest in contract negotiations and hiring, and ensure the project adheres to a budget.\u00a0 Healthy companies grow.\u00a0 Smart growth requires projects.\u00a0 Projects benefit from good direction.<\/p>\n

Finance<\/h2>\n

Finance degrees balance higher, and complex math, with an emphasis on analysis.\u00a0 For financial companies, and companies that are growing, understanding how to handle money, payments, loans, insurance, and other types of financing will be key.\u00a0 Growth takes money, and more importantly a monetary strategy and management plan.<\/p>\n

Marketing<\/h2>\n

Every business wants more customers.\u00a0 Good marketing generates an increase in sales.\u00a0 A marketing degree sets an employee up for a career in sales, in advertising, and media, branding, and other types of marketing.<\/p>\n

Business Administration<\/h2>\n

Compared to an MBA, business administration degrees focus less on finance and more on managerial skills, such as customer service, communication, and employee engagement.\u00a0 A business administrator will be able to help make strategic staffing decisions.\u00a0 This is a great degree for employees who want to leverage their natural people skills within the organization.<\/p>\n

Communications<\/h2>\n

Businesses are constantly conveying information.\u00a0 Management flows information and strategy to their reports.\u00a0 Departments share information among themselves and with vendors. The company as a whole conveys information to customers and the public.\u00a0 Employees with communication degrees can help ensure that the information is passed on in a way that ensures all parties understand and benefit from it.\u00a0 They understand their audiences and how to communicate in a way that facilitates corporate goals.<\/p>\n

Statistics<\/h2>\n

Companies with statisticians on their teams are able to help business leaders make good decisions by analyzing past performance<\/a> and predicting future trends.\u00a0 Training in statistics is useful in product design, marketing, pricing, and financial management.<\/p>\n

E-Commerce<\/h2>\n

Courses in e-commerce will help a team know how to implement online platforms on which your company can conduct business.\u00a0 Employees trained in e-commerce principles and technologies can help make sure customers can find you online<\/a> and then have positive and streamlined experience buying the company\u2019s goods or services.<\/p>\n

Public Relations<\/h2>\n

Having an employee on staff with a degree in public relations<\/a> will help your company maintain a positive public image.\u00a0 A good public image is key for controlling your brand and attracting clients.\u00a0 This type of training is especially valuable for businesses who are large, and therefore reach a wide variety of people with a wide variety of perspectives, and businesses that do work that can be controversial.<\/p>\n

Computer Science<\/h2>\n

Whether the employee gets a full degree or takes professional development courses, a computer science education is a means to make your business operate more efficiently.\u00a0 Most businesses rely heavily on computers. Having someone on staff and available to support your departments in obtaining and running the hardware and software needed to conduct business is like having an insurance plan for how your office functions.<\/p>\n

Information Security<\/h2>\n

Between malware, spyware, hacking, and ransomware, companies have become acutely aware of the dangers that exist around protecting their information.\u00a0 Having strong information security staff reduces the risk that the company loses control of its information.\u00a0 Businesses need their data, information, and systems to continue to function.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
