This is always a difficult one. As you may know from previous emails we saw
approx 1200 during winter 99/00 and are working through the same groups
again. There are a few pockets of resistence and we have in place a system
to record non attendance and advise that this would have a negative impact on
any future claim. We have a range of control measures in place which I am
happy to discuss if you wish to ring me (though not sure of your industry and
whether exposures would be different)
The resistence is slowly breaking down probably - if I'm honest - due to the
fact that we are large enough to redeploy if at all possible. Not being able
to redeploy is a problem aswell as organisational culture and attitude
towards this.
Hope this helps
