January Favourites

Events

On Thursday 15th February, ConsultingTools are holding a specialist event for Recruitment Consultants.  The event will be looking at the role Facet5-Audition has to play in the Recruitment process and offering training to Recruitment professionals in use of the tool. 

If you are interested in further details of the event or on Facet5-Audition itself, please do get in touch.

Interesting websites

The BBC website is always a wealth of information.  This month we thought you might be interested in the BBC article on how happiness can have a profound impact on your staff.

In the News

This month, we would like to direct you towards an article written by one of our clients, Ann Lewis.  Her article was first published in the CIPD Sussex Branch newsletter, January 07.  It takes a look at how Facet5 TeamScape can help teams work better together.

Changes to the ConsultingTools Newsletter

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the cross-section of people we asked to respond to a questionnaire on the ConsultingTools Newsletter.  The feedback we received has been of great use to us and has prompted some New Year's changes to the Newsletter.

The first change is the posting of the ConsultingTools Newsletter on our website.  This has been a popular move - giving those who are looking for articles on specific topics the chance to look back at articles we have published in previous months.

The second change, which we will be introducing following this edition, is the reduction in frequency of the newsletter.  Those we surveyed let us know that although they are enjoying receiving the newsletter and reading the articles, their busy work schedules are not allowing them to keep up with all the stories.  We are therefore changing the delivery frequency to every second month as an initial test.

We will revisit this in the latter part of the year, after having again spoken to a cross section of our readership.  The next ConsultingTools Newsletter will reach your inboxes in March 2007.

Just for fun

It turns out that our office is full of baboons, roosters and skunks!  An interesting combination.  Find out what your animal personality is here.

Any surprises?  Or did you and your colleagues turn out to be just as you expected?  Send us your animal personality.  We have a surprising gift for the first person to let us know their earthy alter-ego.
