Your techs aren't underperforming.
Your L&D system is.

The MSP L&D Readiness Assessment

Twelve observable checks across six areas of how your MSP actually trains and develops people. Answer honestly and you'll get a scored readiness report and a recommended 90-day sequence — built for ticket lifecycle, dispatch, and gross margin per tech, not generic HR theory.

Most MSPs don't have a training problem. They have a system problem.

When a new tech ramps slowly, when escalations pile on the same two seniors, when standards drift between week one and year three — that isn't a people failure. It's the absence of a documented, measured L&D system. The data on onboarding alone is blunt:

12%
of employees strongly agree their organization does a great job onboarding new people.
Gallup, "Why the Onboarding Experience Is Key for Retention."
82%
improvement in new-hire retention at organizations with a strong onboarding process — plus a 70% productivity lift.
Brandon Hall Group onboarding research.

The gap between those two numbers is where your senior capacity, your margin, and your bench depth quietly leak out. This assessment tells you exactly where yours is leaking.

How standardized is your L&D today?

Answer for what actually happens in your shop, not the intention. Yes = it's documented and consistently true. Partial = it exists but it's uneven. No = it lives in someone's head.
