I train them. If they leave to better themselves then that is a good

they owe me back a pro rata amount of the cost of training.

But it's also a double-edged sword.
I agree with that policy 1000 percent, but it can also quickly
lead your employees to other, better paying/benefit jobs because
they have increased their worth.
So although I'm very for that, as a business owner I would advise
against it unless you are also prepared to increase their
compensation and benefits to retain them.

Ah yes, I forgot!
CompTIA A+ and Net+ reimbursement and bonuses upon completion are
popular around here, as well as other relevant training/courses
like MTCNA, MTCRE, etc.
