BIMA x Impact Futures | How to access funding for digital training

In today's market, staff retention and recruitment is a struggle for many employers. Too many people remain unaware of the potential and benefits of a digital training.

The digital skills gap is widening, and retention is suffering, in part because of the lack of training employees receive during their employment or elsewhere. Exacerbated by the pandemic, and compounded by the cost of living crisis, everything from uncertain economic perspectives to domestic care responsibilities is affecting employees capacity to improve their skills.

The bottom line: Employers that invest in upskilling their staff have higher retention rates.

Fortunately, digital training can make a difference. Closing skill gaps from within an organisation should be an initiative every employer undertakes. Digital training programmes provide opportunities for employee growth and development, increasing engagement, satisfaction, and retention.
