Taking Stock: Succession Planning in a Recession A recent CBI
survey on Education and Skills suggests that whilst the UK’s senior managers
are seen to be effective, some weaknesses exist in the middle to lower management
tiers. Research by the Hay group reported that two thirds (68%) of business
leaders felt their middle management tier was inadequately trained for their
current role. With the
current round of redundancies and changing demographic patterns meaning that
more people are leaving the workforce than are joining it, there are
significant implications for succession planning. It is now vital that
organisations invest in their lower tiers of management as today’s middle
managers will form tomorrow’s senior management team. |

at Height Regulations! At this time of year it is enormously important
that policy and procedures are not allowed to lapse as we enter the festive season. Among the many requirements
please remember the Working at Height
Regulations. Typing chairs are not designed to stand on to put up the
seasonal decorations, although they can make very interesting skate boards to the un-initiated. You must also
remember your responsibilities regarding contractors and uninvited visitors,
especially those in red suites and
disguises. Before allowing these individuals to enter the building they must
obviously register in the visitor’s book and fill in any permit to work forms
for working on the roof. Parking on
the roof, with or without reindeer should be prohibited and appropriate
signage displayed. |
