What Is Frontline Training? Frontline training is now a top priority for many businesses because frontline employees have a big impact on customer satisfaction, operations, safety, and brand reputation. These employees, whether they help customers, run equipment, provide healthcare, or handle logistics, represent the company and are often its biggest advantage. Even though their role is crucial, training for frontline workers has often received less funding than training for office staff. But with labor shortages, new technologies, and higher customer expectations, this is changing. Companies are moving away from treating training as a one-time event and are making it an…

By Katie Azevedo, M.Ed. It’s normal to have bad feelings about annotating text. In my work with over 3,000 students, what I hear most often is some version of the following: I don’t like to annotate because I’ve been forced to do it over the years. I don’t know what to annotate for. I never come back to my annotations, so they’re useless. Fair enough. Being forced to do something without understanding why is no fun. Doing something that you don’t understand the purpose of isn’t great either. And doing something that you believe is pointless and you’ll never come…

Maya Annik Bedward’s incisive documentary “Black Zombie” isn’t merely a look back at the cinematic origins of the supernatural re-animated monster. It’s a powerful parsing of how the historical distortion of Vodou and the Black diasporic people of Haiti was engineered by exploitative white colonialists, showmen, and hacks to create a being whose obvious racist undertones have altered the perception of an entire religious community.  Premiering at this year’s SXSW, the deeply researched yet wonderfully engaging text traces the origins of the zombie from its chattel slavery and African spiritual roots to today’s apocalyptic residue. Bedward remixes archival footage of…

Economics textbooks often teach that a proper role of government is to intervene in markets to align incentives when the market fails. Markets work best when decision-makers bear the consequences of their choices. “Internalizing externalities” — say, making companies that discharge pollutants into a river pay to maintain it — is cited as a just cause for taxes, subsidies, and regulation. Most economists continue to teach, write, speak, and podcast as if this textbook prescription for government intervention is a reliable-enough description of reality. But real-world government intervention routinely does the opposite. It takes costs and benefits that individuals would…
