32 Advertisements. FLIGHT MAY 15TH, 1941 4 POINT PLAN TO INCREASE WAR PRODUCTION A MESSAGE TO MANAGEMENT. In a recent broadcast speech, Mr. Ernest Bevin, Minister of Labour and National Service, showed how urgent was the need for more workers — especially women — in Great Britain's War Industries. Employers who are playing their part in the drive for greater and still greater war production will find this 4-point plan a sure guide. HERE ARE THE FOUR VITAL POINTS LAID DOWN BY THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR. 1 Skilled men are needed tor the really skilled jobs. Be sure that each of your men is employed up to the very limit of his skill. Combat skilled labour shortage by breaking down processes wherever you can, and by training up your workpeople, men and women, to iobs of greater skill. 2 Training Schemes must be developed to the greatest possible extent. Take in more new workers for training on the job in your own works. Remember that the Government will help you with semi-skilled men and women trained under official schemes. 3 Prepare, now, to employ more and more women. Look constantly to women for your new recruits: they are excellently suited to many types of semi-skilled work. Hundreds of thousands must enter war production this year and every factory must play its part. 4 Efficient personnel management is essential. Remember that you must secure the whole-hearted co- operation of your workpeople. Look closely to their welfare. Many of them may be new to industry: be patient and help them all you can during the first difficult weeks. A little foresight will reduce your labour turnover. THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR AND NATIONAL SERVICE HAS DISTRIBUTED A GUIDE TO THE EMPLOYMENT AND WELFARE OF WOMEN WORKERS. EVERY RE- SPONSIBLE EXECUTIVE-WHETHER HE BE EMPLOYER OR MANAGER-MUST INSIST ON SEEING IT. You should make a special point of reading the new booklet " THE EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN . . SUGGESTIONS TO EMPLOYERS." Problems created by the increasing influx of new women workers into war factories are dealt with clearly . . . concisely; and the suggestions contained in the booklet will be of interest and great value to YOU! If you have not yet received your copy, instruct your secretary to write for one TO-DAY, to the local Employment Exchange, asking for pamphlet P.L. 87/1941. These are the contents in the Booklet: 1 Appointment of a Woman Personnel Officer. 2 Functions of a Woman Personnel Officer. 3 Consultations preparatory to the introduction of Women. 4 Interviewing of candidates. 5 On engagement. 6 On reporting for duty. 7 Curing first month of employment. 8 Working hours.
