[Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) The Houston Chronicle recently published an article about the [effects of the lack of employee training.](http://smallbusiness.chron.com/effects-lack-employee-training-42687.html) Companies that don't offer quality training to new and current employees harm not only the development of individual workers but also the evolution of the business itself.
