D. General Updates
1. Low Staff morale they have low sales figures and also increased sickness
absence in some departments.
2. Recent launch of comet software has caused problems because people haven’t
enough training and making a number of mistakes but frank lynons did his
best and said that it’s a big department the basic instruction handout was given
out to everyone and provided with a password to log into the new system,
morale is what people struggling with lucy produced an anonymous
questionnaire to get feedback from staff about issues.
3. New appraisal system like awards night to boost morale and sort of team
challenge get everyone pulling together in day time, go-karting and party
 plates the team suggest that but Rita said that we should send a questionnaire
rather than management deciding on what motivates the team.
4. It issues there was a problem on Friday the f drive backup recovery
disassociated itself from the pcp main framework they found that this was a
problem dating back to the beginning of last month when the pcp was
originally reinstalled it is somehow quite a large component logative remix
hadn’t been installed in the reinstallation. There was an external energy issue
preventing us from powering up our mainframe and sub feeders, we can avoid
this by contacting the electricity supplier and pay the electricity bill.
5. Summary of Financial report the balance sheet about even and doing pretty
well in contract sales the downside loss of revenue in handset sales abroad
Gary’s layout is quite confusing if we can’t pay a utility bill, they think we’re
in the red but actually we are in the black but we’re down on last year.

cleanliness problem we must make sure they’re scheduled for the next meeting.
