DUBAI, UAE, December 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Eton Institute will present its innovative training programs to increase employee retention at the upcoming Training & Development Show, the Middle East's leading human capital and corporate learning event. 

In today's highly competitive labor market, employee retention has become a significant challenge as business professionals are constantly seeking opportunities to maximize their potential and professional growth. Eton Institute, the UAE's largest language and professional development training provider, is exhibiting at the Training and Development Show ME 2014, and will present its innovative training solutions to inspire HR professionals in engaging employees, encouraging career development and retaining talent in the workplace.

According to a research by Forbes, the primary reason for high employee turnover is the lack of career development programs. Offering employees personal and professional improvement options helps retention; estimates from an Inc.com research indicate that employee turnover costs can run as high as 150-200 percent of annual salary.

Additionally, training and development programs for employees have shown an increase in job satisfaction, employee engagement and higher productivity, avoiding the expenses of the long recruitment process that can take between 4 weeks to 6 months.

"An employee's development is not an expense but an investment. The competition in the business environment has changed rapidly and investments are necessary for those that expect to be around for the long run," says Moaz Khan, Marketing Director at Eton Institute. "Organizations need talented employees that can come up with something different and creative. Providing opportunities for professional growth retains these employees," he added.

As part of its ongoing commitment to provide the latest training solutions for companies around the world, Eton Institute will be delivering a seminar at the Training & Development Show, 'Linking Training to Powerful Performance' at the Theatre 1 'Learning & Development Campfires' on Monday 8^th December at 1.30pm.
