Abstract

Aim: Morocco has implemented several strategies and rules for saving biodiversity and safeguarding natural and territorial riches in protected regions since the release of the Vizier Decree on January 19, 1942. Within this context, the UNESCO MAB designation encourages creativity in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. However, its goal of reconciling protection and resource management in order to generate territorial and sustainable development possibilities has been criticised. This article aims to focus on the deficiencies of local population involvement in the Arganeraie Biosphere Reserve in preserving the forest environment, as well as the role of innovations brought about by the UNESCO MAB label commitment in this reserve rich in remarkable biodiversity and threatened endemic resources. Methodology: The study used critical and territorial approaches, implementing a documentary analysis of MAB programs and strategies and selecting innovations from the latter. Then confronted these innovations with the reality observed in the ABR field through a qualitative human and social sciences analysis. This research was founded on the results of fieldwork conducted as part of the Erasmus + EduBioMed Project. This work was carried out through a documented study of MAB programs and strategies, as well as the clash of advances introduced by the latter with the actuality of the field of ABR. Findings: According to this study, the majority of social, economic, and territorial innovations coming from the use of the UNESCO MAB label have led to significant changes in local communities. However, the impacts are more concentrated in regions where the actors have a stronger presence. Implications/Novel Contribution: The qualitative results of the study are crucial for understanding the reality of RBA which is a specific territory concerning the various forms of innovation brought about by the UNESCO MAB label. The research brings several policy and implementation insights for future programs implemented by UNESCO in Morrocco and overall, across the globe. .

Abstract

Aim: Employee training sometimes falls to the bottom of the list of priorities while managing a busy health and social care service due to the abundance of issues to take into account. The greatest human resources may be developed and retained via training, which also offers new skills and information. The entire training practices in private hospitals in India were to be evaluated in this study. The research primarily examines how training affects worker performance, organizational commitment, and the standard of healthcare services. Methodology: A questionnaire was used to gather primary data, and one item was left open-ended to allow for further exploration of the subject. Findings: The study’s results revealed that although employees occasionally receive training, only a small percentage of them think it is of a high enough caliber to have an impact on both their personal life and the company’s. Additionally, they didn’t think that the training had increased their dedication to the organization or changed the way they thought or behaved. They contend that variables other than their connection with their employers have a bigger role in determining their retention rate at a company. Employees acknowledged that certain abilities had improved, which suggests that hospitals utilize a set of broad training techniques that are not altered to meet specific hospital demands. Not every employee said that assessments are conducted on a regular basis. Employees are not involved in the creation of training modules, and they do not believe that training and evaluations have made them stand out for both themselves and their employer. Given that the healthcare industry is always changing, having a professional, educated, and adaptive personnel should always be a top concern. For anybody working in the healthcare industry, training is a must, not just a nice-to-have. Implications/Novel Contribution: The hospitals may utilize these findings to enhance their training initiatives and get the most out of them.
