"employee relations" and what it might compare to, by another name(?) in the States.
I would love to have the opportunity to do a "blog" interview with you via email. I would love to learn more about how you are creating engaged and committed workers in The Salvation Army.
Let me know if this would be of interest to you.
Regards, Judy
You are very fast. Must be cold so you are staying warm by the computer. I am thrilled you have joined this group and I look forward to what you can offer us plus I sincerely hope there is much of value and that you can take away from here.
