> Training is seen as competitive suicide, because while you bear the costs of training, your competitors can then poach your trained employees by offering a salary that is less than your total cost for that employee but more than the salary you pay that employee.

Then I guess the company will just have to do without.

Seriously, if the need is so great then maybe, just maybe the company should do the training and should reward employees for staying.

Otherwise, maybe the need really isn't so great.
