News reaches Guru that the CIPD is to present a report on the ageing workforce at the Singapore Human Capital Summit next week.
Guru aged a few years when he found out the conference is being held at the luxury Shangri-La hotel, renowned for its hospitality, service and opulence. According to its website it is "consistently ranked as one of the top luxury hotels in Asia and the world... and where the legendary hospitality of Shangri-La first began."
Guru wonders how the CIPD top brass decided who went on this jolly, er... sorry, important business trip. Let's hope the organisers are paying for the flight and accommodation and not CIPD members.
Guru also notes that the trip marks a change in tact following the institute's previous reluctance to engage with the Far East when it turned down the chance of working with the Chinese government.
Something for the lucky so-and-so to ponder while enjoying the hotels's outdoor heated pool, world-class dining, extensive spa facilities and luxury guestrooms.
