Regardless of its industry or business, an enterprise can only reach the level of success that is achievable by the people that exist within that enterprise. Strategic plans, marketing campaigns, new product designs, technological innovations, etc., are all dependent on skilled people. If your enterprise views labor as a cost to be controlled rather than an investment to be grown and cultivated, then you are operating at a competitive disadvantage.

One of the more effective ways to invest in your employees is with a comprehensive eLearning and continuing education policy, like this one created by Mark W. Kaelin for TechRepublic Premium.

Featured text from the policy:

TUITION REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM

Whether a training course is for continuing education or working toward an advanced degree, employees may be eligible for financial assistance under the company tuition reimbursement plan.

The current company tuition reimbursement plan is as follows:

1. Eligibility requirements

Employees must be permanent full-time employees or part-time employees working 20 hours per week.

Employees must have been employed by the company for at least one year.

Employees must continue employment with the company for at least six months after receiving tuition reimbursement. Employees leaving the company before six months have elapsed will return the reimbursement on a prorated basis.
