Harvard Business Review Analytic Services Survey Highlights Missed Opportunities For Those Without Tuition Assistance Benefits

HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Harvard Business Review Analytic Services (HBR-AS) released findings from a survey, sponsored by Strategic Education, Inc., of business leadership* that show organizations may be missing out on a key upskilling and retention tool. Ninety-one percent agree that tuition assistance (TA) benefits programs can give organizations a competitive advantage by upskilling the workforce. The survey also revealed that nearly 90% of business leadership agree that, for organizations in their industry, there is strategic value in offering tuition assistance benefits to employees. Yet, despite this agreement, the survey highlights an inherent paradox and an opportunity for employers to gain a competitive advantage. Eighty-five percent of the business leadership surveyed agree that the positive outcomes from offering tuition assistance benefits outweigh the costs of paying for employees’ education. Despite this, 39% of business leadership say their organization has not evaluated or made updates to its TA program within the past three years
