Goal Setting |
At Baker Boyer, we believe in the transformative power of continuous learning and professional development. Our commitment to your ongoing development is not just about enhancing your skills—it's about fostering a culture where growth and advancement are integral to our collective success. By investing in education and certifications, we're not only contributing to your personal career trajectory but also enhancing our ability to provide unparalleled service to our clients.
The significance of employer-supported education and development cannot be overstated. According to a study by LinkedIn, employees who spend time at work learning are 47% less likely to be stressed, 39% more likely to feel productive and successful, and 21% more likely to feel confident and happy, proving that the more you learn, the happier you become. This investment in our staff is a testament to our belief that our most valuable asset is a knowledgeable and empowered team.
In line with this philosophy, Baker Boyer offers a supportive framework for employees seeking to expand their expertise by paying for certification programs and examination fees that are required for an employee's position, as well as the opportunity to apply for forgivable, interest free loans (while still a Baker Boyer employee) to cover the costs for degrees and certifications that aren’t required for their role but would be beneficial.
Whether these programs are directly tied to your current role or are pursued to broaden your professional horizons, we stand behind our team's aspirations. This approach not only benefits our staff but also enriches the fabric of our organization, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of industry standards and excellence.
