The document discusses how companies that invest in employee training through proactive initiatives experience higher profits and revenue. It describes a situation where one company did not have an internal training program to help developers maintain skills. To address this, the company developed a peer-led training program that met for two hours weekly. Over three years, the voluntary program grew and helped upgrade skills, allowing projects to ramp up quickly and improving employee retention and satisfaction. The strategic training initiative enhanced the company's competitiveness and modernized products.
