According to the Association for Talent Development (ATD), companies that offer comprehensive training programs have 218% higher income per employee than companies without formalized training. But it doesn’t stop there. These companies also enjoy a 24% higher profit margin than those who spend less on training. It would seem that continuing to invest in training and development, even when there are economic downturns, is the smart play.

Serious games are serious business. Metaari Research reports that investment in learning technology companies in 2019 blasted past previous highs, reaching $18.66 billion in 2019.
