Personal Growth = Company Benefit DIFFERENT TITLE?
Learning is paramount to develop and maintain skills at both the individual and organizational levels. These skills provide employees with tools to sustain competitive advantage and contribute to the business at a higher performance level on a day-to-day basis.

Many measures of professional growth are intangible benefits that are not easily quantified. However, that is exactly why professional development provides such a high long-term ROI. The knowledge to make better decisions, access leaders in the field, and create strong connections with peers will pay-back the travel costs over and over again. We cannot become thought leaders by isolating ourselves from the wealth of outside ideas and opportunities. http://insights.donortrends.com/nonprofit-fundraising-advice/bid/39756/The-Tangible-and-Intangible-ROI-on-Professional-Development OTHER LINKS?
Successful organizations understand that professional growth is not just about the individual—employee development empowers individuals within the company by breathing life into its purpose. A company is a living entity, made up of many individuals whose personal goals and ambitions reflect upon the company’s vision. Professional Development fosters these goals and ambitions to not only sustain a company’s vision, but to embolden it.
