“…In terms of research methods, we can see that a questionnaire survey is the main approach used to obtain the data related to employee training. Other methods, such as structural equation modelling, among others, are also used together to analyse employee training [44,52,54,55]. It is obvious that the majority of studies on employee training are based on qualitative analysis, and quantitative analysis is less used to analyse training programmes.…”

Employee training is not only important for the continuous growth of human resources but also guarantees sustainable human resource management in enterprises. It is very important to understand corporate behaviour related to employee training not only from the perspective of a single enterprise but also from that of multiple enterprises. The purpose of this study is to explore multiple enterprises' employee training behaviours by conducting a content analysis of corporate social responsibility (sustainability) reports and a social network analysis. This study also seeks to find a way to achieve sustainable employee training by analysing the similarities in the different types of corporate training behaviours. Our analysis shows that, in 2017, 108 types of training activities were implemented by 53 enterprises; the key employee trainings (e.g., security training and skills training) and enterprises (e.g., bank of communication) are identified. The training behaviours of some of the enterprises are similar to some extent, and eight groups of firms that are very similar are identified. The results of this study show that social network analysis performs well for studying corporate employee training behaviours. Some suggestions to minimize the investment costs of training and to improve the sustainability of human resource management from the employee training perspective are provided.Sustainability 2019, 11, 380 2 of 20 organizational sustainability has been highlighted by some scholars [16][17][18]. We therefore explore corporate sustainable resource management from the perspective of sustainable human resource management in this study.Corporate sustainable human resource management is a new area of research and practice [14]. There are still significant research gaps regarding sustainable human resource management, in particular, how human resource management addresses the sustainability of human resources [19]. Only a few studies have examined this issue; for instance, the work by Ehnert [20] explores the meaning of and reasoning for sustainability in human resource management as well as applications of the concept for human resource management through an analysis of 50 European multinational enterprises. Kramar [19] examines the major features of sustainable human resource management and highlights a relationship between sustainability and human resource management. Tooranloo et al. [21] identify the factors that have an impact on the successful implementation of human resource management sustainability in organizations. Human resource management is a series of work practices involving people, among which employee training has a very important part. Some managers and scholars have realized that employee training is not only an important incentive for the continuous growth of employees but also guarantees the sustainable development of the enterprise (e.g., [22][23][24][25][26]). Therefore, it is very interesting and important to analyse the sustainability of human resources from the perspective of employee trai...

“…Several authors have examined the current and future needs of the governmental public health workforce and future trends impacting the governmental public health system. 1 – 7 The Institute for Alternative Future's Public Health 2030 Scenarios aptly describe 4 potential futures that public health agencies may face (Table 1 ), and several of these scenarios would have negative impact on SHA capacity to address public health challenges and improve population health. 8 Brownson and Kreuter described future trends impacting public health in the new millennium in 1997.…”

“…Policy development and public health advocacy have been identified as 2 of the greatest needs of the public health workforce. 1 A tactic to promote the strategic move from patients to policies is to prioritize training and competency development in public health policy and advocacy. The public health leaders of the future should be as competent in policy development as they are in the public health sciences.…”

“…The predominant finding of all these papers was the very close relation between job satisfaction and the variables of organizational structure (Almalki, FitzGerald, & Clark, 2012;Baldwin, Lyons, & Issel, 2011;Best & Thurston, 2006;Campbell, Foweles, & Weber, 2004;Cumbey & Alexander, 1998;Curtis & Glacken, 2014;Graham, Davies, Woodend, Simpson, & Mantha, 2011;Haugh & Laschinger, 1998;Keller, Strohschein, Lia-Hoagberg, & Schaffer, 1998;McMaster University School of Nursing and the Health Services Research Unit, 2009;Yamashita, Takase, Wakabayshi, Kuroda, & Owatari, 2009). The 21st-century studies have reported relatively low levels job satisfaction among public health nurses and emphasize the need for additional research on job satisfaction among public health workforce (Curtis & Glacken, 2014;Graham et al, 2011;Hilliard & Boulton, 2012;Sellers et al, 2015).…”

Public health nurses (PHNs) working in Well Baby Clinic in Israel's Haifa district were voicing great distress to inspectors-the impossibility of meeting their workload, feeling overwhelmed, poor physical, and technological conditions. They were feeling tired and frustrated and burn-out was rising. The district's nursing management took the decision, together with Tel Aviv University's nursing research unit, to conduct a quality improvement project based on issues that arose from meetings with focus groups on the nurses' difficulties. This paper is a case study of a quality improvement project targeting nurses daily working life. One of its chief contributions is as a study of meeting PHNs' frustration by integrating focus groups and round-table brainstorming (involving nurses, clinic managers and nursing inspectors) in order to identify targets for practical intervention. This strategy has been very successful. It has provided the district's nursing management a battery of forcefully argued and realistically grounded proposals for making the work of Well Baby clinics more relevant to their communities and giving nurses (a) the conditions to meet their assignments and (b) greater professional self-respect.
