Over the past eighteen months there has been a larger than average turnover of staff in the Typing Pool of the firm for which you work.

The Personnel Officer, whose assistant you are, has asked you to investigate and write a short report on the causes and possible solutions to this problem. Use the following notes as the basis for your report.

Supervisor conscientious - rather strict, overworked - working conditions poor - typewriters and duplicator need replacement - large volume of work - some of girls' skills inadequate - only one girl promoted from pool in last two years.
