Happy New Year!
Welcome to Primary Business Today 2008!
To help you achieve a positive start to the year, this issue we are bringing you lots of hints and tips to make 2008 your best year ever. Our Motivational and Inspirational section contains articles from Nigel Risner on how to “Make 2008 your best year ever” and Marcus Child “You can if you think you can”. These will help you feel inspired, motivated and give you the strength to write down those very important goals that will ensure this year is a great success for you!
In this month’s HR Clinic section we focus on “Managing Stress”, with an undoubtedly busy year ahead, we thought now would be an appropriate time to help you understand stress and how to overcome it. For your sample copy of a workplace Stress Audit and a FREE 10 second stress test Contact Us.
In response to requests received for more Health and Safety Information, we’ve added this to our HR section. This month we have started with the basic requirements with an article on the “First Steps toward Health & Safety Compliance”.
Geoff Ribbens, our Leadership expert, brings you his next chapter “Appraisal – It’s all about Behaviour”, in the Management Zone. Geoff has put together a Feedback Checklist to help you deal with difficult people and situations.
While you’re in the Management Zone check out “Your Perfect Marketing Plan”. You can also download a free template to help you.
With tax return deadlines fast approaching, Specialist Accountants at UK200Group Healthcare answers your questions on what it means to you and the doctors in your practice; see our Finance section.
Finally to help you create a happy picture, and give you something to look forward to, we are giving you a chance to win tickets to Royal Ascot in June. You will be given a VIP reception, which includes: champagne, canapé reception, four-course luncheon and lots, lots more.
Remember to keep on sending us the topics you would like us to include and we will feature them throughout 2008!
Stay positive!
