It should be made more complicated for companies to easily "import" skills that are not so hard to learn. Companies should train their employees for the coming new skills required. This is what Swiss companies were doing when it was impossible to immigrate in Switzerland. And the employee-employer relationship was a lot healthier than today.
- s3nnyy 8y agoCan you elaborate on "Swiss companies were training their employees when it was impossible to immigrate in Switzerland"?
- IdontRememberIt 8y agoBefore entering Schengen, Switzerland was a very closed country for the job market. It was very difficult to get a permit. Switzerland had (has) a major issue: salaries were high compared internationally and there could not import skilled employees. So all the companies/factories had trainings to keep their employees and "transition" them when the technology or business was changing and making their CV obsolete. The companies with the best training/programs were attracting talents. So all companies had to do it. Otherwise they would not attract talents. It already starts with apprenticeship. Did you know that you could start a top career in a top Swiss bank with an apprenticeship at 16 yo? Some companies are still like this. But most of campanies prefer now to simply fire and hire an already baked employee; but they keep training programms made by HR more for marketing/communication purposes than a real culture.
