As business owners, or as part of a leading management team, we ve been conditioned year after year to focus on the customer. In fact, we re constantly reminded by the old The customer is always right, or Satisfied customers equal success adage. While that advice can hardly be argued against, one facet of the business isn t always held in such high esteem - and that s the work force. Some companies have already equated a well rewarded work force with increased productivity and work gratification, but an increasing number of them have yet to understand the significance of a corporate award strategy. Often, financial compensation for labor is seen as sufficient. But research has shown that when employee satisfaction is approached as aggressively as customer satisfaction, companies place themselves well ahead of...

Hunan cuisine shares many commonalities with its close, more well-known cousin, Szechwan cooking, Both cuisines originate in the Western region of China. The climate there is sub-tropical humid and warm enough to encourage the use of fiery spices to help cool the body, and to require high spicing of food as a preservative. With similar climate, the two regions also share many ingredients rice is a major staple in both diets, and chili peppers are an important part of most dishes.

The term Big Five originated among the hunters of a bygone era to describe not the largest of the animals that they hunted, but the most dangerous. These are lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros. Every one of these animals has a reputation for pursuing its attacker with intent to kill. Perhaps the most persistent is the buffalo, which will ceaselessly pursue his aggressor, making hunting a life-or-death experience for the hunted and the hunter.

Indeed, South Africa has embraced this rich wildlife heritage and welcomes visitors from all around the world who come to experience close encounters with the magnificent beasts.
