American Management Association studies found that componies that invest in training their employees will have higher revenues and profits What else did this study show that demonstrates the effectiveness of training? Select one a. A cost-benefit analysis Improvement to recruitment b Productivity gains C. Greater HR efficiency d. Better link to strategy

The correct answer is **b. Productivity gains.**<br /><br />While the other options might be indirectly influenced by training, the AMA study directly linked training investments to increased productivity, which in turn contributes to higher revenues and profits. Improved recruitment (a) and greater HR efficiency (c) are potential outcomes of a well-trained workforce but aren't the primary findings highlighted by the AMA in this context. A cost-benefit analysis (a) is a method to evaluate training, not a direct result. A better link to strategy (d) is important for training design but not the core finding of the study regarding effectiveness.<br />
