Edition #4 September/October 2008 | Proudly brought to you by HIA Insurance Services

It’s hard to believe spring is already upon us and what a magical time of year it is. Spring signifies new growth and a promise of things to come, much like the building industry climate of today. As BPN’s we understand the value of having good staff so in this edition we look at how to help you hire staff while protecting your business. It’s also never too early to start planning for a new year so get in quick and order your 2009 HIA diary and read how to utilize your ‘secret weapon’. Are you managing your time effectively? If not, why not attend an HIA training course to hone your skills. And meet Cathy Smith, HIA Business Partner of the Year 2008 – Congratulations Cathy. Don't forget, if there are any topics you would like to see covered in BPN enews, please email your requests to bpn@hia.com.au
