Throughout this course, we have discussed the importance of effective recruitment and selection procedures, as well as the many benefits that training and development have on organizational culture. All have an impact on retention, and with that knowledge assess the following:

• Specifically, discuss the impact a more effective training and development program—for new and existing staff—can have on an organization's retention.
