Time News, March 21, 2023

Organizational training is not a fun process or a game, but maybe it should be that way. Most of us have used (often reluctantly) corporate learning systems, such as skimming through the 50 slides of PowerPoint presentations. A new study by the CPA firm KPMG shows that training through game techniques done correctly – lessons that are conducted carefully and over time, incorporating elements such as progress through challenges and different levels, immediate feedback, points and competition – can significantly improve employee performance.

To date this year, 36,000 suspected cases have been reported, with more than one-half among children younger than 15 years old. In Burundi alone, two-thirds of the recent cases have been in those younger than 19.

The Impact of Weather on the Supply Chain

The Impact of Weather on the Supply Chain

Parcel, October 2, 2024

The supply chain for many small parcel shipping companies is typically long. Products are often made in distant lands, travel on oceans and waterways, arrive at ports, are then transported to warehouses, from where a third-party logistics provider delivers the product to its intended destination. In a stable world, shippers and customers alike can expect a product to be delivered within the promised time window. However, in a world facing high levels of uncertainty caused by war, pandemic, political instability, raw material shortages, freak accidents (recall the regional and national impact of the bridge collapse in the Port of Baltimore caused by a container ship), and weather, the shipper must work overtime to ensure customer expectations are met at no additional cost, despite these uncertainties.
