首段:背景介绍 争议焦点 作家立场
The competition amongst different corporations have become increasingly fierce, therefore, it is not rare to see that some large-scaled companies typically have established standards for management and thus have recognized employee-training programs and standardized dispute resolution strategies. As a result, people have been pondering for many years whether or not the most worthwhile investment is the cultivation of employees’ abilities without reaching any definite consensus. For my part, I strongly insist that with a view to generating more economic value, the companies should sponsor the training for their employees to promote the staff’s efficiency and proficiency.
