This week’s e-biz news in brief
Unusual ways of saying
‘thank you’
HR managers looking
for more unusual ways to reward staff can choose from a new set of experiences
that can soon be bought online from Virgin Incentives. They include a package
called The Boardroom, which entails seminars with leading business figures. The
full range of experiences span adrenaline-pumping air-, water- and motorsports
to the rather more civilised lunch at Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir Aux Quat’
Saisons. And if your sales team has bust every target this year, how about
rewarding them with a week for 26 people on Richard Branson’s private island,
Necker, at £275,000?  www.virginincentives.co.uk

traditional classroom courses," says CEO John Newlands.  www.pathlore.com
