Performance Management research looks at the practices used by organisations to increase employee performance and motivation, including an in-depth analysis of the staff appraisal.
The Marketing research group focus on the ‘grey’ consumer, an untapped market of cash-rich over 50s who are often neglected by youth-obsessed advertisers.
