Dr.
Marshall Goldsmith

culture will continue.

Tea
and the Secrets of
Staff Retention
Staff retention a
concern? Today’s
employees do indeed want
something more – and
it isn’t just money. I

training.

Letters - Alan
Chapman

(writing
letters of
resignation)
Here are free
templates and tips for
writing resignation
letters. Good
resignation letters and
letters of resignation
acceptance are important
for individuals and
employers, so that the
process of leaving a job

to dispute or penalty if

resignation acceptance
letters are therefore
vital mechanisms for
handling the resignation
and leaving process
properly. Following
these simple rules will
help you whether you are
resigning, or managing
the acceptance of the
resignation an employee.

ICT
Convergence on Public
and Private Sector
Entities
If technology is
driving change, then
without competent and
dedicated people
steering that change
process, organisations
will be unable to cope
and will suffer. Indeed
in an industry where
technology is a focal
point, it is the quality
of human resources that
continues to be the key
determinant of expected
outcomes.

Quotation
for the Day

|
from
Going Postal by Terry
Prachett
"They say
that the prospect of
being hanged in the
morning concentrates a
man's mind wonderfully;
unfortunately, what the
mind inevitably
concentrates on is that
it is in a body that, in
the morning, is going to
be hanged."
