Education benefits and the evolving landscape

Transcript:

DAN MARSELLA, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships, Workforce Edge:

I think, you know, today’s employer as they think about the talent pool and the talent market, they’re faced with a number of challenges, right? They’re really trying to figure out ways to attract, retain, engage, and develop today’s worker.

ANNE HILE, Enterprise Account Executive, Workforce Edge:

One of the things that I’m hearing over and over again is the number one reason why people are leaving their current employer is because of lack of career development. And education can play an important role. There’s nothing more powerful than a leader tapping their employee on the shoulder and saying, ‘I believe in you, I believe in your potential. And one of the ways we’re going to get you to the next level is through education.

DAN MARSELLA, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships, Workforce Edge:

When we sat around and really started to brainstorm how we could help employers lean into their education benefits program, first things first, they needed a home for that, right? And that became workforce Edge.

ANNE HILE, Enterprise Account Executive, Workforce Edge: 

Workforce Edge…think of it as a one-stop shop complete education management platform. So it’s a platform that processes and manages tuition reimbursement for organizations. It’s a powerful tool to help recruit new candidates because, ultimately, all organizations really want to be that employer of choice and leaning into the education benefit can really help separate themselves from the employer down the road or the employer in any part of the country.
