- 3. The Wire – Issue 103 25.09.12 In a show stopping effort to raise money for the British Paralympic Association, teams from Modis and Roevin recently took part in the Tatton Park Triathlon — and thanks to the generosity of Adecco Group colleagues, they’ve pulled in an impressive £1,020. Craig Slater, who organised the intercompany Triathlon challenge and “convincingly beat all of the Roevin and Modis competitors”, gave us the following quote: “Risin' up straight to the top Had the guts, got the glory Went the distance Now I'm not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive” Inspiring sentiment, I’m sure you’ll agree. And in the spirit of ‘going the distance’, the kilometres covered by each team (and Craig) are listed below. • Adecco: 427 km • Roevin: 1,635 km • Modis: 89.25 km Feedback or questions?

- 5. The Wire – Issue 103 25.09.12 Modis talks IT trends with with Computer Weekly On 13 September, Modis facilitated an interactive roundtable discussion on the future of IT at a 5* hotel located near Liverpool Street, London. Companies including Barclays, Lloyds, Leapfrog Communications, Simms, Kingston Smith Consulting and of course Modis engaged in a two hour discussion which covered the following topics: • Who today’s IT people really are • How they connect with other core business functions • Whether organisations are making the best use of the technology available • How regulation can keep up with technology advances • Where IT sits within business as a function • What the future shape of the function will look like • The Talent Pool • The Role of education • Whether UK IT has a unique selling proposition for the global economy It was great to have attendees from Unlocking Britain’s Potential join in the debate at the Modis event and it is very clear that the thoughts and concerns shared a year ago at the UBP roundtables are still being echoed today. A key theme is that the current education system is still failing both young people and the employers. Full discussion notes from the event are now available on the Modis website.

The highest earners across the Group will be automatically nominated, but those in Central Services still have time to vote. If you’re in Central Services and want to put forward a colleague, you can vote here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XGVR2NW; or if you think you deserve to win, you still have time to ask your colleagues to vote for you. Once all of the Central Services nominations are in, the Incentives Committee will put forward a shortlist to the Board who will then have the very difficult task of whittling it down to just seven deserving winners. We’ve already received 118 nominations, so keep them coming in. Voting closes at 17:30 on Friday 28 September. Not long to go, so why not give the chance of winning one last push?
