Training Isn’t a Cost—It’s Your Best-kept Recruitment Strategy
We tend to think of recruitment and retention as two sides of the same coin—but what if the answer lies in building an accredited staff training strategy instead?
What if your next best hire is the person already on your payroll?
In a world where job ads are ignored, budgets are squeezed, and great people are leaving faster than ever—an accredited staff training strategy isn’t just about compliance or skills. It’s about belonging, progression, and purpose.
That’s why more forward-thinking organisations are investing in accredited staff training—not as a cost centre, but as a strategic move to attract, retain and empower their workforce.
Accredited training helps teams grow in confidence and capability—without disrupting day-to-day delivery.
“People Leave Jobs. They Don’t Leave Growth.”
It’s easy to focus on outputs—targets, delivery, KPIs. But underneath it all, people are asking:
- Am I supported to grow here?
- Is my development seen as a priority?
- Does this job have a future, or just a function?
When the answer is no, they leave. Not because they’re ungrateful, but because no one wants to feel stagnant.
Accredited training tells your team: “We believe in your future here.”
And when people feel invested in, they’re far more likely to stick around, step up—and surprise you.
According to CIPD research, learning and development plays a key role in improving staff engagement and retention.

The Best Staff Strategy? Grow the Ones You Already Have
It costs on average £3,000–£5,000 to recruit and onboard a new team member. Imagine putting even a fraction of that into developing your existing team instead.
Training isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about unlocking potential—and showing people they matter.
And in today’s landscape, that’s a recruitment strategy no one talks about, but everyone needs.
