The Mouse Phenome Database (MPD; https://phenome.jax.org) is a widely accessed and highly functional data repository housing primary phenotype data for the laboratory mouse accessible via APIs and providing tools to analyze and visualize those data. Data come from investigators around the world and represent a broad scope of phenotyping endpoints and disease-related traits in naïve mice and those exposed to drugs, environmental agents or other treatments. MPD houses rigorously curated per-animal data with detailed protocols. Public ontologies and controlled vocabularies are used for annotation. In addition to phenotype tools, genetic analysis tools enable users to integrate and interpret genome–phenome relations across the database. Strain types and populations include inbred, recombinant inbred, F1 hybrid, transgenic, targeted mutants, chromosome substitution, Collaborative Cross, Diversity Outbred and other mapping populations. Our new analysis tools allow users to apply selected data in an integrated fashion to address problems in trait associations, reproducibility, polygenic syndrome model selection and multi-trait modeling. As we refine these tools and approaches, we will continue to provide users a means to identify consistent, quality studies that have high translational relevance.
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to guide decision-makers in the learning and development space with effective and efficient training transfer tools and techniques to facilitate workplace implementation of skills and knowledge disseminated during training interventions. Design/methodology/approach Insights were drawn using a quantitative method study involving survey questionnaire responses from 300 respondents representing eight industry sectors. Findings Investigations revealed that the effectiveness and efficiency of training transfer tools are strongly correlated and enable workplace application of skills and knowledge. Practical implications Use of appropriate training transfer tools and techniques delivers superior returns on training investments and accomplishment of business results through desired behavior change in employees. Originality/value The study promises to be the first of its kind and provides a fresh perspective towards enabling practical workplace application of trained knowledge and skills using effective and efficient transfer strategies.
Purpose The purpose of this case study is to highlight the efficacy of Augmented Reality (AR) as an effective tool to facilitate training transfer of behavioral skills and knowledge imparted during the training program, back on the job. Design/methodology/approach Insights were gathered through qualitative assessments in the form of post-training depth interviews with participants, with the objective of investigating the success of AR as an effective training transfer tool. Findings The findings of the study revealed encouraging results related to the application of AR towards training transfer at the workplace. The learners revealed positive impact of AR on training transfer and found the experience to be highly enriching. Practical implications The study offers insights in the domain of technology enabled tools such as AR to drive transfer of training through an immersive and engaging learning environment. Social implications AR as a training transfer tool can bridge the gap between training delivery and training implementation in behavioral trainings for several key industries, thus eliminating geographic and language barriers for learners. Originality/value The study is first of its kind and promises further inquiry in the domain of organizational learning and development. Insights revealed in this case are gathered through personal experience and offer a new perspective towards training transfer at the workplace.
Addressing the high rate of attrition that has long plagued business process outsourcing (BPO) enterprises has become essential in light of the sector's expansion across numerous industries around the world. A study of one Indian BPO enterprise revealed that many of the factors that contribute to attrition can be offset by an organizational focus on people. On the basis of their findings, the researchers offer numerous strategies for improving employee retention without compromising business processes. Managers in any sector can apply these suggestions to help ensure the continued growth and success of their organizations. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
