Question

Cross-training employees does not benefit employers in which way?

Answer 1

By cross-training employees it does not benefit employers because there is no decreases in employee wages. Just because employees are cross-trained and are learning new skills - the wages do not go down for these employees, in fact, in most cases they may even rise due to their increased skill set. They also are able to increase productivity if there is an employee absent because the cross-trained employee is able to cover for them.
