When did you last
benchmark your business?
Kirkpatrick &
Hopes |
|
 |
|
| Very
few businesses do this, yet “benchmarking” is one of the most
powerful business techniques around. It means to “systematically comparing
the detailed activities and performance of different businesses so that each
business learns from each other and, as a result, each business becomes more
effective, more productive and, ultimately, more profitable” |

What is data
exploitation?
Information Drivers

|
 |
|
| Most
businesses sell things to people, be that product or service and the majority
have that information stored away in computer systems. By unlocking the
potential of business data, organisations can make more informed decisions,
drive marketing and sell more. Data exploitation gives you a competitive
edge... |

Fraser HR on ...
Age Discrimination
Mary Fraser |
|
 |
|
| There
was a time, not so long ago when I was researching and writing about the
implications of age discrimination in employment as part of my HR
qualification. The year, 2006 seemed so far away and the debate as a student
didn’t really have much meaning to me then, obviously other distractions
as a student! And now here I am as if by magic, revisiting the age
discrimination topic once again – October 2006 is almost upon us. Am I
ready as an HR professional? Are you ready as an employer? Allow me to share
some of my learning … |

Has Summer Come

|
| What
happened to spring? We seem to have jumped straight into summer… Whilst
we’re basking in this fantastic hot sunny weather, don’t forget how
strong the sun’s rays can be - even when it clouds over. If your children
are playing outside in the garden or in the park, try to keep them well-covered
with suncream to protect that delicate skin. |
