This study examines the effect of training and career development on banks employees’ performance, using survey research design, through the administration of structured questionnaire on some employees of some selected banks at Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. The findings reveal that, all the variables have positive individual significant effect on employees’ performance. The individual significance career development has the highest effect on Nigerian banks employees’ performance with t-stat = 6.256 *0.000. To further certify this, the multiple linear regression was used to test the combined effect of training and career development on employees’ performance to which only career development has positive and significant effect on employees’ performance (t-stat = 6.359 *0.000), where training has positive but insignificant effect (t-stat = 1.556 * 0.123). The adjusted R2 (0.398) indicated that, 39.8% variation in employees’ performance is accounted for by training and career development. The findings revealed that, an improvement in training and career development tends to enhance banks employees’ performance. It can therefore be concluded that, training and career development are important determinants of banks employees’ performance. Therefore, it is recommended that banks should enhance their training and career development activities towards the enhancement of their employees’ performance.

Internal fraud (occupational fraud) in the microcredit business has caused significant losses for the banking industry and financial institutions. The unique microcredit business process and the amount of loans provided were relatively small for each customer. The more extensive the credit portfolio in a bank /financial institution, it took many marketing personnel/microcredit analysts. Internal fraud was one type of operational risk that banks/financial institutions often face that focused on microcredit services. The most common types of fraud were Corruption and Asset Abuse (ACFE), such as Tempilan credit (loan partly used by the debtor), Topengan credit (misused loan), and Fictitious Credit. Machine learning that was run automatically was used to predict internal fraud in microcredit business processes. This study conducts the use of analysis with CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) method to ascertain which component in the model of Social Identity and Triangle-Fraud most dominantly affects a person to commit fraud in the process of microloan services. This study also applies Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model to predict the possibility of fraud events. The level of possible fraud events will be manifested in the form of "Risk-Scoring.". This research result is expected to provide input to the banking industry/financial institutions that serve microcredit to make efforts and make fraud prevention strategies more effective.

Methods: Key themes were extracted from notes taken at the symposium, where opinions were expressed by three senior psychiatrists. Results: There are components in building a sustainable career as a psychiatrist, which include considering one’s work environment and relationships with colleagues; self-care, mentorship and reflective practice; and seeking opportunities to teach and research for career progression. Conclusions: The mentorship and advice from senior colleagues can be highly influential. In order to sustain a career that has reward, meaning and longevity, psychiatrists would do well to pay attention to aspects of self-care, stay connected to their loved ones, seek an optimal work–life balance and take an interest in their long term career plans.

The British Horseracing Industry has been experiencing a labour shortage since the 1970’s and despite recent improvements reported in staff retainment, the industry still reports high staff turnover. We investigated staffing challenges experienced by UK horseracing employers and employees, to formulate strategic targets to address any issues identified. Thirty UK trainers and staff (12 staff, 9 senior staff, 9 trainers) participated in semi-structured inductive focus groups lasting on average 39±9 min. Questions explored staff background in racing, perceptions of the current staff challenges, retention and recommendations for improvement. Thematic analysis revealed four higher order themes; (1) lack of skills, (2) differences in perceived work ethic, (3) job conditions, and (4) media portrayal. This study concluded that there are dedicated staff working in the industry, but significant skills gaps, high workloads, poor work-life balance and a lack of training and career progression negatively influence retention in the horseracing industry.
