I agree totally, I would add though that there is another common
approach by employers in the UK, that is a reluctance to train workers
because they will then go to join a competitor, thus wasting the
investment.

If they go to a competitor, the firm needs to look at its pay and
conditions of service, etc.

That's what you would assume, but a large number of employers just go
down the dont train route.

A very short-sighted approach IMHO. We can't rely on a system where
no training is done otherwise companies won't be able to recruit
qualified workers.

But short termism is the UK way. Never spend a penny on training etc if
you think you can just poach a trained person from elsewhere.

Rather negative thinking. Ignore any benefits of training just in case you
might lose out on the odd one or two.
