Question:

"We are planning to do a bit of business in China, though it will be handled by a specialist marketing organisation. However one of our employees has asked us to sponsor him on a Chinese language course. This might be of some use, though limited. Do you think we should pay for him?"

HR tip:

The cost of language courses varies greatly.
