The male secretaries who refuse to be typecast
Article Abstract:
British men are beginning to realize that they can gain valuable experience in business through working as a secretary. They must take on a wide range of responsibilities, and can see significant financial benefits when they become highly skilled. Men generally regard secretarial work as a way of gaining access to a company and obtaining some experience, and are sometimes prepared to work harder than their female counterparts. Some employers remain reluctant to consider employing male secretaries.

Article Abstract:
Theft by employees creates costs of 1 billion pounds sterling a year for UK companies. Most employees have taken small items such as stationery from work from time to time, but some go much further than this, removing large items of furniture and even valuable computer equipment. In some cases, employees steal computer equipment to order, working closely with professional criminals. Many companies are now introducing security measures designed to restrict opportunities for theft.

Article Abstract:
Many UK companies are now becoming increasingly aware of the advantages of offering high quality staff restaurant facilities. These facilities must be more attractive than those available locally, and must meet the requirements of people who have become more discerning about what they eat at home and in restaurants. Companies can use staff restaurants as a way of demonstrating their commitment to their staff and of showing clients that they have high standards.
