Welcome back! Today we're trying something new. Rather than offer up the business news headlines in one audio player and then the business interview in another we are combining them. Just ahead you'll hear some of the top business news stories from today and then, without having to click ahead or click on another player you'll be able to listen to my conversation with Ro Crosbie the founder, President and CEO of Tero International as we talk about the changeup corporations are making that highlight retention over the ever revolving door of recruiting only to see those employees leave sooner than later. It's a small tweak but we think it makes things easier on...you. And you can let us know your thoughts by heading to social media. You can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too. Here's what we've got for you today:
Perhaps THIS is the news we've been waiting for;
New tariffs on steel coming from China funneled through Mexico;
A ballot proposal will let Uber and Lyft drivers form a union;
How about small nuclear reactors to generate power?
CNN is about to get...smaller;
Speaking of smaller...Big Lots is about to go there too;
The Wall Street Report;
The pharmacy "middle-man" and the Justice Department.
For the interview you'll hear from Ro Crosbie as we talk about what corporations across the globe are now focusing on...and that's high quality skills training. Companies are growing weary about the ongoing "revolving door" of HR and now look to better improve their workforce with training. Ro Crosbie from Tero International is with us.
