If employers provide workers with access to training, to skills recognition, and if that training and those skills benefit the company, employers will offer workers more. It will enhance a worker's mobility if, for some reason, the employer has to lay people off. Being well-trained and having their new-found skills recognized will help them find another job. That is how I see workers benefiting from this measure.
