Firms seek statistical models to measure employee turnover.
Having put to use multiple methods to curb attrition, the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry has now turned to number-crunching for faster and reliable solutions. Companies operating in this space are adopting statistical models either built in-house or by third parties to measure attrition
tendencies of the employees. For instance, if a candidate has many dependents to support and has had prior work experience, there is a likelihood of him staying longer with the company. Performance during the initial test or an interview is another parameter used. (Business

Immigrant workforce is driving Scotland forward
IT has taken two years to really appreciate the impact that immigration from the European Union accession states has had on Scotland. At first these hard-working migrants were seen as temporary, stop-gap answers to labour shortages in construction, hospitality, catering and agriculture – all the low-paying

Emergency medical workforce will need a boost: report
Emergency care sites should use more physician assistants and nurse practitioners and encourage more men to enter nursing to ease a workforce shortage, according to a report by the Center for Health Workforce Studies at University of Albany, N.Y. The report said workforce shortages at emergency departments,
urgent-care centers and ambulatory service locations, combined with an aging population, will place greater strain on the nation's emergency medical system. Problems include a registered nurse shortage, unequal distribution of board-certified emergency medicine physicians between rural and urban areas, and
difficulties retaining emergency medical technicians. According to the report, nearly 20% of physicians specializing in emergency medicine worked as independent contractors, compared with 4% of all physicians. (Modern Healthcare...registration
