The title of the above article is the same title that appeared in The Irish Times last week and its becoming more and more apparent as we enter a global recession how true if companies want to remain competitive. Prof Cary Cooper who is an expert in organisational psychology spoke to the Irish Times ahead of delivering a paper to the 21st Annual James Smiley Lecture to the faculty of occupational medicine at the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland.

We at Flexitimers could not agree more!!!
