During the heady days of the mid-2000's many companies were losing productivity, in an attempt to increase growth and market share. This led to a huge amount of flab growing around the mid-riffs of many small businesses. As soon as a recession was declared these small companies turn their attention to their productivity, trying to squeeze more from their existing business structure. Just a the general population turn to more healthy pursuits during recessive times, so do businesses. So, it's not about investment in a recession. If we can just squeeze another 10% from our existing workforce, by thinking about their skills, personal qualities and their current undertakings, we will come out of this recession running and will soon return to growth. I'm very positive :-) I see many examples of companies searching for quality in these tough times.

I dont remember Oxfam running workshops for agency workers in Oxford. Could you send me details of when and where these workshops were held.
