Getting a handle on a glass of your favourite Champagne
Champagne is the wine of celebration. It has launched a thousand ships, toasted a million weddings and marked countless special occasions. Unlike other wines there is no season for champagne, so no matter the time of year - whether it be a cold winter's night or bright summer afternoon - you can keep it on hand to seal a business deal, welcome a new born into the world or mark a birthday!

Alternative health and fitness solutions for you and your organization
When it comes to health and fitness I am sure we all have lots of positive intentions, but alas we do not always have the time and energy needed to see them through. With my hectic schedule I often find it difficult to squeeze in as much exercise as I would like. I am sure that this is often also the case for you and your team. However, it does not need to be this way. In the coming pages I intend to introduce some practical tips that will make getting worthwhile exercise a lot easier, as well as few slightly unusual pointers that could serve to enliven your fitness experiences. For you as an individual, these will serve to make staying in great shape much easier. Also, for you as a HR professional, they will be useful in helping you improve the health and fitness of everyone within your organisation.

Learning where is safe to tread with Corporate Social Responsibility
I remember as a small boy my father taking me on vacation to the Yorkshire Dales National Park in my native England. The memory of rolling green hills and crisp clean country air remains vivid with me to this day, as does some sage advice he gave me - "leave only footprints; take only photographs." He was trying to instill in me a sense of responsibility towards my surroundings, to show me that I should protect them so that others could enjoy them in the future. To me, this idea also defines the essence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), especially in China. Countless multinational organisations now have bases here and they must ensure that they have a positive impact on their new surroundings.

Getting the most from global dispersion
It may surprise you all to learn that I am not an expert in geography. However, I can tell you without fear of contradiction that the world is getting smaller. Of course, I am not talking about physical parameters - it is still a very long way from my apartment in Tianjin to the house where I grew up in England. Rather, I have in mind the rapid development of technology and the way in which it has made global communication faster and easier, removing boundaries and rendering borders irrelevant.

Using The Right Tool for The Job |

Last week, whilst I was out shopping, I witnessed a minor conflict that quickly accelerated into a fierce altercation because of miscommunication. A young man had returned to an electronics store where he had purchased a set of headphones just a few hours before. He was annoyed that the headphones did not work. Therefore, he wanted to get another pair that did. The assistant in the store was very polite. In a soft and low voice he asked for all the relevant information, such as where the man bought the headphones, how much he paid and exactly what the problem was. The assistant tried to kill the customer's anger with kindness. However, he only succeeded in making the customer angrier. It was a very uncomfortable situation for everyone involved and no doubt harmed the store's image.

Recruitment Transparency
 In the last issue of Network HR, Allan Nee of Baode Law in Tianjin wrote a detailed and insightful article about the ways in which your organisation needs to adapt to China's new Labour Laws. Allan offered a myriad of fantastic advice. However, there was one factor he mentioned that really captured my attention - transparency.Read More

The Power of Acknowledgement
 he seeds of this article were sewn as I put together the last edition of Network HR. First, as I edited the Training & Development section, I read the following prophetic words from Jennifer Peterson, "If you want your customers to feel cared for, you must care for the employees that serve them." This started me musing about the way organisations across China treat employees.Read More

Synchronicity for Success
 A single droplet of sweat trickled down my neck as the glowing amber sun beat down on us. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw our competitors lined up alongside us. It was the moment we had been preparing for over the last 5 years. Our goal was crystal clear and I had visualised this very occasion countless times.Read More

War, what is it good for?
 I believe I can bring the War for Talent to a peaceful end. I came to this realisation two
months ago after I was invited to present at the ‘Corporate Travel and Technology
World' conference in Shanghai. The topic, "Selecting Potential Leaders and Turning a Company from Good to Great", was
provided some months earlier, giving me time to source opinions from
around China. Read More
