Manning would do well to go on the road and establish what is causing angst amongst all trades and ranks. Using questionnaires like 'Your Say' doesn't reveal everything - on that questionnaire I often felt I was being forced to make simple choices on set areas that didn't cover all my personal concerns, but perhaps that was just me!
I'm not pointing any fingers at the guys and girls who work at Manning. I think they do the best they can and know a number of them well enough to confirm that assertion. Crisis does loom though and knowing what drives our people to leave needs to be addressed. Increasing Salary is a gift of the Treasury which would require AFPRB evidence to support. Very difficult area to argue convincingly enough across the Public Sector.
