Clare hosts European Eco Labelling Working Group
On 5th and 6th March 2009, RS Clare hosted the penultimate
meeting of a multi industry European wide initiative to
increase the uptake in Eco Labelling by industries across the
board.
Funded in part by the European
Union, the purpose of the working party has been to improve the
uptake of environmentally friendly lubricants by proving that
they can be cost effective and of comparable quality to non
biodegradable products.
The findings will be published in
the Autumn.
RS Clare Strategy Day 5th March
2009
Every 6 months at RS Clare we hold a
strategy day off site for all employees to keep them in the
loop, share issues of importance, seek their input and
involvement in improving the operation. Each one is
different....before this last one, everyone toured each
department and thought of a) One improvement they had
noticed over the previous year and b) One thing that needs
attention. All of those reports will go to the various
managers for attention, and next time we will share with
everyone what has been done about it. (Action plans will
be agreed at Monthly Departmental briefings.)
At this meeting I shared the
Strategy to achieve budget this year having told them the
departmental profitability for 2008, and sought buy in. We
got it in spades. We showed an in-house DVD about the last
260 years and improvements we made in 2008, and interspersed the
day with 'fun'. The drummers started the event after lunch
at the Marina, and it really got the day off to a good start!
