Why do employees quit? Hidden reasons leaders overlook Employees leaving the company are common in the business world. In fact, 10-20% turnover is not actually a source of concern, as it often shows employees pursuing better employment opportunities, exploring different career paths, or moving to new areas. These reasons point to the natural progression of a person’s life, not to the problem within the organization. However, if employee turnover rates exceed 20%, it’s time to start looking for other reasons to quit. And while these may not be so obvious, they are still enough to free your workforce, and your…
The advantages of the codeless L&D team In a world where skills can become obsolete in months and changes in regulations are constantly under pressure to evolve warning, learning, and development (L&D) leaders. Traditional L&D systems (sturdy, cord-heavy, slower systems) can’t keep up. The future of L&D is looking for flexibility, speed and adaptability, and that future is already here, with no code development and artificial intelligence (AI). Why flexibility, speed and adaptability are important in an age of continuous learning Whether you’re responding to sudden compliance regulations, launching new training initiatives or reskilling the entire department, L&D teams need…

Conflict between the US and China governments over export restrictions – continuing the earth in one direction and other goods in another direction are branded into a new “supply chain” trade war. The Wall Street Journal wrote (“Supply Chains Become a New Battlefield in the World Trade War”, June 11, 2025): Important lessons from the latest skirmishes of the US-China trade war: the era of weaponized supply chains has arrived. Weaponization is what happens when you intervene in someone else’s problem. Not only do they weaponize trade against foreign rulers, but tariffs and other trade barriers are weapons that the…

About protecting your training and why it’s essential Conservation training is not just for people working in schools and hospitals. It’s far beyond that. Anyone who comes into contact with vulnerable people needs to know what to look for and what to do if they feel that they are wrong. This includes staff, volunteers and even contractors. It is protecting others from harm, abuse or neglect. That’s to talk. And it’s not an option in many workplaces. What is protective training?

China’s large labor and internet ecosystem supports a fleet of courier services that provide a growing range of products on demand. Deutsche Bank analyst Jessie Xu took on a unique strategy by dedicating one delivery person per order to “pioneer in the dedicated courier services industry” and one delivery person per order.

In a post about Penny on June 10th, I wrote: The US government makes quite a penny (intended for Punid) with seignioge. That’s not what it was about scholarships, but more and more people use credit cards and cryptocurrency to buy good services. Still, that’s a fair amount. The biggest profit from Seiigniorage is $100 billion. Printing one costs the federal government only 9.4 cells. So, if the Fed spends this $100, it will make a profit of $99.90. Not bad. Printing for $1 will charge you a FRB.3.2 cell. So even a $1 invoice will still make 97 cells.…
