Which one is better, train the employee and he leaves you or don't train him and he stays with you?

The training of employees is not optional but essential to strengthen the skills and qualifications of employees. The training revet a major interest for the development of skills and professionalism of the staff.

You are obliged to train your employee to enable him to learn and develop intellectually thought, to acquire new knowledge, to develop his skills and to improve his efficiency,

By training your employee, you will take full advantage of his talent and the employee can become a model for other employees.

You must make sure to keep this employee within the company by offering good compensation and benefits.

If the employee leave the company, simply replace him with another, no one is indispensable.

So train the employee is not only better but essential. 

If you train and you are unable to retain him then it is the failure of the firm.

I have did B.Tech (Hon) and expert in Electrical panel, can any one assist me.

train employees costy but must if the employer is looking for better competitive edge and still can get some grantuee from the employee to cover the training value

employers don't care about competition ,don't care about training

"Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to." - Richard Branson.

This is the best answer that I have

Nadjib is right on all accounts and I second him.  Sir Richard Branson (of Virgin Airlines) said: " Train people well enough so that they can leave and treat them well enough so that they would not".   So a trained employee is more valuable to you and others, and you have trained this person based on this past performance, the expectation you have of him/her and his intended growth plan that you thought would work.  Folks leaving is NOT in your control - can be due to many reasons, not necessarily higher salaries , that too higher after the training supposedly.  For any employee, the BOSS is the Organization. If he is not treated well and respected well enough, training or not, he would go! Keeping him after training by giving his the next role and responsibility that you had intended the trained to set him up for is key.

you train him and he leaves you ? it depends why he is leaving, weather he dont want that kinda training or he finds difficult to learn training like the job he will do is not his major or intrest. or after the training he knows and learn good but he got better oppurtunity at some place else . 

you dont train him and he stays with you ? its a good situation (sometimes) also as he finds himself loyal to you and he would learn things mostly by himself and time to time experiences.  i also had that experience by myself as i am fast learner.

What's the point of having an untrained employee?

What's the point of having a trained employee who isn't being paid for their skills and/or offered the chance use them fully?

Your question is, "Which is better?  Somebody who doesn't work here because the management don't want them to, or somebody who does work here but doesn't know how to do the job?"
