Manage Your Business ­ With Kindness
Businesses are paying the price as almost half of Australians
(49.5%) confess to wasting hours of company time surfing
the net for a new job according to new research*
And the reason - it's all down to the boss. 79% of
Australians say a decent boss is the most important aspect
for employee work happiness, with 45% admitting a bad
superior would be their main trigger for quitting their job.
Getting on with your colleagues (62%) and having a good
pay (48.9%) topped the poll as employment pros.
