I really enjoyed this as it is info I was not familiar with around the Annual plans and Strategic plans. I was aware of the induction and hiring procedures although I'm not responsible for this area.

I am owner/manager of a small rural stand alone centre. It is a lonely and challenging journey.

I know we need to strengthen this area but it is difficult without a sounding board or clear knowledge of 'how to'

This has been very helpful.
