Abstract: According to labor economists, uncertainty about labor turnover leads to insufficient investment in the development of general skills. In 2011 the BIBB conducted a survey among firms in Germany to contribute to the debate on potential underinvestment in continuing vocational training (BIBB-FluCT survey). This work presents first analyses and delivers hints at the relationship between firms’ training efforts and labor turnover. Many firms seem to look at continuing training as a means to reduce turnover. It appears that only few reduce training investment because other firms may benefit in the case of worker separation. Possibly, this is due to the wide proliferation of payback clauses, which help firms reap the returns to their training investment.
