It’s the end of another week here and it’s been a busy one! We’re putting the final touches on our 2013 Asia Pacific Meeting in the Philippines at the beginning of March, and finalizing details for our 25th Annual Meeting in London – we’re super excited about that, which will feature some very special guests and lovely activities to celebrate our 25th year.
We’ve seen a lot of interesting content coming from around the world this week:

- Heads-Up Employers: Is comp time the wave of the future? from McDonald Hopkins: Work/life balance is also up for discussion in the US, with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor leading the charge to allow employees to convert overtime into comp time.

Enjoy your weekend!
