Profits in People: Training Helps Plants Fill Gaps

摘要

Spurred by European takeovers and other forms of privatization stressing efficiency and knowledge, U.S. water/waste-water companies are expanding training programs to fill gaps caused by plant closings, cost-cutting and downsizing. Whether they grow their training programs in-house, use outside vendors or a combination of the two, executives say they are able to do a better job filling skill shortages that ensure safer and more efficient plants and that comply with increasingly stringent government regulation.
