We all like a bit of bling - so, don't miss out on triple Gold points with Club Carlson hotels, but hurry you need to book by the end of March to get this super offer.

We can all do with a little sibling support - Brother labelling machines can help you be more organised and professional, and you can get up to £60 off some machines.

How do you book most of your hotel rooms for your business travellers? - Why not spare just five seconds to take part in our latest poll - you can vote via our Home Page or any of our Section Pages.

Office Romance - Proceed with Caution!
While office romance can occur at any time, it seems that the month of February, and especially Valentine's Day, focuses a bit more attention on the issue. And the issue for organisations is whether or not their managers should or should not interfere in the private lives of their employees. But, is a romance at work really a private affair?

Work Smart, Not Hard - Sure, But How, Exactly?
The latest advice we hear from the business gurus is "Work smart, not hard." Yes, of course; that makes sense. But what does it mean? What exactly should we do to work "smart?"
 
Working smart means being effective - focusing on the results we're after, not the process we use to achieve them. Don't mistake activity for effectiveness. You can stay busy all day without accomplishing anything important. We only have a limited amount of time and energy, so we need to use those resources in a smart way. Use them for the things that make a difference.

People with diabetes, thyroid disease and rheumatoid arthritis are more prone to developing CTS as well. Certain things should be done to help prevent the disease as it can seriously affect your ability to work and enjoy life.
