42、文 W: My guest today is Ricky Bland, whose critical report on how service companies approach training has just been published. Hello, Ricky. M: Hello. Yes I looked at the provision of training by employers in this country, and found that most have a “winner-takes-all“ approach to training. Despite lo
43、w levels of basic skills, companies spend most of their training budgets on their most qualified employees, particularly managers. This simply doesn“t result in the quality we need. W: I see, and why is it necessary to improve training in the U.K.? M: Yes, because even though there have been enormou

They encourage people to spend as much time being trained as they think they can benefit from. In the long term, t
48、he company gains financially, because it creates a source of potential managers. W: But still, working in a fast-food establishment is much worse than in an expensive restaurant, isn“t it? M: In both cases, the work can resemble a production line, with the pressure limiting the chances of job satisfaction. But, expensive restaurants depend on the reputation of one or two individuals; the rest have little chance to move f
