Every day is almost always the same thing: Get to the office, check email, return messages, lunch, more email — and so on, with very few variations. If you’re feeling stagnant in your career, it might be time to change things up. And one of the easiest ways to do so is by becoming a trainer.

96% of employers believe on-going education improves job performance. Companies notice the impact that training has on workplace culture and employee retention.

Here are a few more reasons why training will help you further your career.

Develop and refine your skills

One of the best ways to develop your own skills is by helping others: You’ve been in their shoes, and teaching a trainee can give you a much-needed refresh. Given the experience you have now, it’s helpful to revisit the beginning stages of your job with wiser eyes. Training someone else can help you understand how the puzzle fits together, and apply that knowledge to your current role.

Become a better communicator

Whether you realize it or not, training comes with the benefit of developing interpersonal skills that can be helpful in all aspects of your career. Trainees think, learn and communicate differently. Learning how to adapt to varied learning styles will help you develop conflict-resolution skills, and become more relatable. These skills are applicable in any career — whether you are communicating with the public, or internally with your co-workers.

Feel more engaged in your career

Engagement plays a vital role in personal fulfilment in the workplace. A recent Chronicle study discovered the numerous benefits of serving as a mentor: For one, training and mentorship creates psycho-social support, which gives an increased sense of competence. Mentorship was also found to improve an employee’s sense of identity and effectiveness. When you realize the significant role in your workplace, you will feel more engaged and an increased sense of belonging.

Get promoted faster

There is a correlation between on-going education and advancement.78% of employers said on-going education positively impacts promotion and advancement. Among the many benefits of training, teaching others will increase your value to an organization. Because you are the key to helping new employees acclimate, the company can’t afford to lose you. Plus, you will become a master after repetitively training others on the ins and outs of job tasks. You’ll also slowly acquire the skills needed to manage others. Then, the next time a management position opens, there’s a higher chance that you’ll be top-of-mind for a promotion.

Earn more

87% of employers say additional education positively impacts pay raises. It seems fitting that employees with more knowledge and better ability to help the company grow are paid more. Employee turnover is expensive, and training programs improve employee retention by helping employees engage, learn and grow.
