7.As the labor market becomes more attractive,more companies are sending their employees to school.Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the latest company to use tuition assistance for employees--which for decades has been a part of many business'benefits packages--as part of a renewed effort to bring in and cultivate talent.And while the impact of such programs has yet to be fully assessed,many see it as a positive--although gradual-movement."For workers,it gives them a better opportunity for development,"says Colleen Flaherty Manchester,a professor."For firms,they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over,and thus have a higher level of retention(保留)."
