Thus, this company motivates employees to grow and develop."

"Cross-training. Many businesses have various departments and each department do not know about the other and how they are related and how they actually work together. When an employee does not have a sense of The Big Picture it can make an employee stale but when the employee understands this, it creates a sense of team and increases the productivity of the employee."
