...Tuition Reimbursement Implementation XCOM 285 Essentials of Managerial Communication Tuition Reimbursement Implementation The popularity of tuition reimbursement programs is growing across America’s businesses. Some believe that tuition reimbursement for employees is only encouraging them to seek jobs elsewhere after the employee receives his or her degree. However, studies outlined by Pattie, M., Benson, G., & Baruch, Y., in Tuition Reimbursement, Perceived Organizational Support (2006) disclose that employers who take an active role in the education process with the employee are more likely to have higher ratios of employee retention after graduation. New Opportunities for Employees Career growth and advancement are two elements employees value about their jobs. It is essential for an employee to feel a sense of accomplishment when allowed to apply the skills gained through education to the employees current job rather than feeling as though they need to change jobs to apply his or her degree. Tuition reimbursement programs when coupled with career growth and advancement for employees can be extremely effective and lucrative for companies. For example, implement an incentive program for a raise or a promotion for employees close to graduation acknowledging their latest accomplishment. This type of tactical move by an employer encourages employee retention, making him or her feel valuable and important in their job. Employees feel valued when an employer...

...TUITION REIMBURSEMENT IMPLEMENTATION SHON SMITH XCOM/285 OCTOBER 27, 2012 ROBIN MINARD Tuition Reimbursement Implementation The success of a company depends on the success of their employees. Opportunity and security is what employees seek when looking for employment. Many companies today offer a variety of benefits to employees i.e. health insurance, paid vacation and holidays, retirement, and various assistance programs. One program that I feel will be beneficial to our company and our employee’s is a tuition reimbursement program for employee’s who obtain their bachelor’s degree. As you all know the company has already approved a budget for the program so the cost of the program is not an issue. The addition of the program will benefit our company and our employee’s. The benefits and opportunities that the tuition reimbursement program gives our employee’s are endless. Tuition reimbursement will improve our employees overall skill level, education, job performance, and prepare them for promotional opportunities within the company. Employee’s that are well educated and have higher skill levels will add to the success of the company. I believe that adding the tuition reimbursement program will entice employees to stay with the company, which cuts down on the turnover rate. The turnover rate in the United States in 2011 was 38% according to the department of labor (myopenworkplace.com/2011/03/employee-turnover-rates).
