Is your training on tracks

Training has reached a status akin to motherhood: a 100% approval rating. So, for all businesses the clarion call has gone out: if you want to be more profitable, train your staff; if you want to attract the best staff, offer training. So what's available, how do you choose and what benefits accrue? Availability is no problem. Training is one of the growth industries of the past ten years. There is a course available for any skill you want to learn, likewise for any skill you want to improve. This then presents the first dilemma: how do you select training? The logical route is to start with the definable needs of the business. Where are we short of skills, where are we lagging behind our competitors, where are the new opportunities to be grasped? Then you need to fit this to your staff. Who needs these extra skills, who will benefit from them and in so doing benefit the business? Here you hit one of the classic dilemmas of training: can you afford to lose the person you want trained while they're being trained? This paper discusses these issues.

ORGANIZATIONAL SLACK IN MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS: A COST VARIANCE ANALYSIS

Stack is a central theoretical concept for which we suggest original measurement procedures. Cost variance analysis is used to measure labor organizational slack (LOS) in a national sample of American municipal governments. National norms serve as standards. Positive slack occurs when actual costs exceed standard costs. Some cities experienced positive slack, others negative slack. Staffing and Compensation Indices are estimated and found to be negatively correlated. Implications for public policy and further research are discussed. When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind.

Your career: surviving and thriving

In a competitive work environment, with no rigid, preordained career ladder to follow, careers need planning: but how? The bad news is that there is no magic formula. You can, however, make a difference by working at it. First you must know what you want, and this needs some serious and systematic self-analysis. Most often successful careers do not simply happen; they are made. Recognise this, take appropriate action and see career success as something that is down primarily to you.
