Companies may experience less employee turnover because of the loyalty that is a byproduct of encouraging people to succeed and will have a workforce that is committed to the profession and the delivery of high quality, cost-effective goods and services. The organization that includes a requirement for certified staff in their bidding specifications does so because it wants to be in business with people who have matched their knowledge against a national standard and earned certification.

They recognize the completion of the testing process is indicative of the ability to perform under pressure and meet deadlines. Certification is one area of common ground that clients can use to judge quality. In the long run, it saves the customer money because the contractor's knowledge, skill, and ability make your staff better able to meet contract specifications and successfully manage both the schedule and budget.
