The Malign Walmart influence of :lfo "Clear, simple Direct Communication with Staff". That simplification idea is very early 90's American Style Management ,That worked well on You Tube with the gruesome twosome's videos -responses that would make a docker blush
Seriously ASDA bosses have to sing the Company Song ,

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Under Royal Mails own Health and Saftey guidlines these plasma T.V screens should never be installed in the work place. Within eyesight of moving yorks trolleys ect. As a loss of concentration due to distraction from the T.V. could result in an accident. So they should be in the area where workplace learning takes place. Or switched off whilst work is being carried out, to avoid the risk of injury. Some offices have had a terible time with people bumping into all sorts of things whilst being distracted its only a matter of time before a manager gets knocked and then the things will be totaly switched off i supose.

I wouldn't worry about them not being turned on. They keep trying to turn ours on, but they mysteriously get turned off again. :funneh :wink: :whistle They basically show management propaganda videos, and Powerpoint presentations along the same lines. They are intended to replace the notice boards. But you have to go through a manager to get anything put on it. :no no :hmmmm

Believe it or not, there is NEVER anything contradicting the RM propaganda. I wonder why..... :silenced :no no :hmmmm

By the way, it took months for them to get ours to work in the first place. What a waste of time!
