Recruiting education

You will need to maintain documentary evidence that these personnel have the necessary education, training, and experience to carry out the tasks assigned to them. This is where job specifications can help. For each of these positions - not the individuals but the position they occupy - you should produce a job specification that specifies the requirements an individual must meet to occupy this position. It should include academic qualifications, training, and experience requirements, as well as personal characteristics, so that in recruiting for the position you have a specification with which to compare candidates. 

Surveys of professional lawn chemical applicators were conducted during the summer and fall of 2004. Subjects recruited included participants in Ohio State University s OARDC (Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center)-sponsored turf care professional educational seminars (Northeast Ohio Lawn Care Seminars). Approximately 300 professionals attended these events (held at the Wooster campus of Ohio State) to inform practitioners of best management practices, new technology, and health and safety issues. Participants included those who own and work in the lawn care industry in Ohio, spanning companies from small, one-person owner operated firms to large franchised national outfits. Professionals attend these seminars for purposes of certification participation in the survey was optional. 

As described in the main narrative, we selected volunteers from those who attended a briefing by our recruiting team at their home installation and stayed to complete the MMPI and a comprehensive personal history form. The latter included items relating to current health, prior illnesses, education, past legal or disciplinary infractions either in or out of the Army, drug or alcohol problems and reasons for volunteering,... 

Studies indicate financial rewards alone cannot provide employee satisfaction and retention. High employee turnover costs companies tremendous financial and competitive resources. Many employees faced with equal or higher pay but unsatisfying work will move onto another company or position. A poorly integrated QMS with complicated processes is often the foundation for that dissatisfaction. To repeat work, lose valuable time, or deliver substandard product does not satisfy today s highly educated and competitive worker in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceuti-cal industry. The cost to recruit, replace, relocate, and retrain employees is significant. Avoidance of these costs can be used as a partial basis for support of the program. 

The anticancer effect of curcumin in murine thymoma cells was found to be due to the blocking of IL-1 signaling by the inhibition of the recruitment of the IL-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) [Jurrmann et al., 2005]. A recent study showed that curcumin could prevent tumor-induced thymic atrophy in thymic T cells, leading to the neutralization of tumor-induced oxidative stress and the restoration of NF-kB activity and the re-education of the TNF-a signaling pathway, resulting in thymic protection [Bhattacharyya et al., 2007]. 

These teams are characterized by high flexibility and creativity, and moreover they think and act with a business focus. Unfortunately, such teams do not fall from the sky. The secret lies in recruiting the best intellects, and then supporting them with education and further training. Merck s abilities here mean that its reputation in laboratories secures a stream of highly talented individuals coming into the company. 

Organic standards have to be developed around these challenges and the solutions provided by science and practical experience. To implement the necessary practices into the organic standards, certification agencies have to be established in the countries and inspectors have to be recruited locally. They must be educated so that the products are both produced in a locally sustainable manner and meeting the requirements of the organic movement. 

One of the things we want of a faculty in a college are people who can think about the issues, whether it is education, how to teach better, whether it is the research community, the community of scholarship, or the various other functions that we provide. Unfortunately, when we recruit new faculty, we seldom look at the attributes that are going to be important for them to be complete faculty. 

I would urge all of the industrial folks to think about doubling their contribution, if possible. But the point is that this is a global contribution to graduate education. It also could seed your recruitment, because these folks spend a summer in internship in your institutions, and a lot of those people go back after they have gotten their degrees. So it is a good feedback mechanism for you, it is wonderful for us, and it works.
