Well it was a weird idea when they introduced it, I believe the theory was that any company with more than ten staff would not know their names, where they stayed or convey to them on a regular basis how they did their job. I got paid 200 quid to go on a course to learn about this invaluable technique. My staff at the time (30) said it was OK with them if I did not want to bother with it
