Talent management is on every company’s agenda as markets constantly shift and conditions change. Particularly in industries that are candidate-driven, employee development is essential to retaining talent and running a successful business.

According to the CIPD 2014 Learning and Development Survey, the median training budget per employee in the UK is £286.
