I know at least one large, Australian company (they'd call themselves a
multinational company) where it is the company policy to NOT send staff
on training courses.

Why?  Because they fear that in doing so they provide the staff with a
better resume and its easier for them to find another (better) job.

That sort of problem doesn't start "in the middle", but at the "top".
Really, it indicates a "rotten core" (if you think of the people at
the "top" also being at the "core".)
