list was so that I could gain some insight into the issues, problems and questions
from business managers and SSOs, particularly with concern to HR/Personnel
responsibilities. One of the things that I have noticed over time is that
questions are asked where the answer/information is available on HRWeb.
(I also have the feeling that the number of such questions is increasing, but
that might just be me.) I am very keen to understand why this might be
so. Is it because?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

is invaluable in helping me better support all business managers and SSOs as my
main responsibility is for HR communications, which includes being site manager

that is posted, then hopefully that is to the advantage of us all too.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
