UK Firms failing to train staff

An article on the BBC website states that
1 in 3 firms aren't bothering to train their staff and not only that, they missed out on £15 million (approx $29.6 million) free funding from the governement for their staff so they didn't even have to shell out any money in the first place!
About £15m of government funds set aside for work-related training has not been taken up and has been reallocated, Skills Secretary John Denham has said.
Companies are often bemoaning the fact that their staff are useless and inadequate in their jobs and yet fail to train them using their owen budget or government funding.
Quite often, especially with the financial constraints that are being placed on business, training is the only reward that employees get and it's a shame that they (well at least a third of them anyway) are obviously missing out.
Companies need to
realise that money isn't the only thing that keeps us working for them - it's respect and an opportunity to improve too.
