Editor's note
=============
There is no escaping the fact that return on investment is

departments. While it seems common sense that training and
development should impact on the bottom line for any
organisation, proving that return on investment is, of course,
rather more complicated. Well help is at hand this week, with
some interesting pointers on the ROI issue from members Martin
Schmalenbach and Frank McGoldrick. Click on the link below to
find out more.
