January Business Forum report
Dates for forums for 2012. Thursday 2nd February. Thursday 1st March, Thursday 5th April, Thursday 3rd May.
Time 9am to 1.30pm. 
 
We had 12 companies at today’s session. The main topics for this session were, Sample Imagehow to get my people to have the same drive for my business as me, how to handle personal negative equity and still focus on my business, improving customer service. maintain and grow margin to invest in the business.
 
Topic. How to get my people to have the same drive for results as myself 
 
Rather than taking the usual approach of motivating staff, the topic developed into a discussion on how to better understand this subject.
 
The initial conversation came up with the idea of engaging with the staff and sharing information on how the business needed their input. However, what emerged was a view that if we share too much information on how the company is performing, then staff will start looking for wage increases when the company start showing a profit.
