Small Business Tip #3: Proper Training Include training in your budget to ensure our employees have the right information and know-how to be successful.

Training can be delivered in multiple formats such as classroom, e-learning, micro-learning, on-the-job or a blend of multiple formats. When you see successful profitable companies, you also see regular and established training and learning and development programs.
