Most computers in Australia incorporate ENERGY STAR technology, the international standard for energy efficient electronic equipment. When enabled ENERGY STAR reduces the amount of energy consumed by a computer by automatically switching it into a 'sleep' mode when it's not being used. ENERGY STAR settings on your home or office computer are accessed via the Control Panel.

Last Thursday I attended the AHRI HR Practices Day at the Grand Hyatt. This is essentially a one day conference that starts at 7.30am with a breakfast speaker and concludes with a networking session at 5.30pm. It was the first time AHRI have held the Practices Day in Melbourne although they have had them annually in Brisbane for the past 4 years. I have attended them before and always found them to be informative and interesting.

At ASI the health and wellbeing of our employees is very important to us and I am pleased to announce that we will be commencing our Corporate Health Program next week.

Our co-ordinator for the program will be Jen Bates from Active Lifestyle Specialists and she will be visiting our office on Thursday and Friday of next week (March 8 & 9).

The program will commence with an individual assessment which will help to identify any areas you feel you would like to improve (ie, high blood pressure, stress, weight, cholesterol, posture, nutrition, general fitness etc). During this assessment Jen will take down measurements and information about you that will remain confidential – this is only necessary so that you can track your progress. She will also help you to set some goals and plan actions that will help you to achieve those goals. The assessment will take up to an hour and an appointment is required – please reply to this email and indicate a preferred time between the hours of 8am and 3.30pm on either Thursday or Friday of next week.
