1 . Although many companies offer tuition reimbursement (偿付), most companies reimburse employees only for classes that are relevant to their positions.     1     A company that reimburses employees for all college credit courses — whether job related or not — offers a service not only to the employees, but to the entire company.

One good reason for giving employees unconditional tuition reimbursement is that it shows the company’s dedication to its employees and it is important for a company to demonstrate to its employees that it cares. The best way to do this is to make investments in them.

    2     A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their degree, more often than not, the employees will stay with the company.     3     Thus, throughout those ears, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will doubly benefit the company: Not only is the employee more educated, but now that employee can be promoted so the company doesn’t have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. Open positions can be assigned to people who already know the company well.

Though unconditional tuition reimbursement requires a significant investment on the employer’s part, it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.
