A Few Words from the Editor
T
HE EYES
of the world will be on Beijing
in August when thousands of elite
athletes seek gold medals and glory at
the 2008 Olympic Games as China plays host
to the greatest sporting show on earth for the
first time. In this issue, we look at how the spirit
of the Olympics can serve as an inspiration to
Hutchison staff around the world. Sport and
physical exercise have an important part to play
in contemporary corporate culture as they help
improve health, enhance teamwork and boost
corporate branding.
We also take you to Australia where a remark-
able health service called The Royal Flying Doctor
Service is celebrating 80 years of helping people
in remote parts of the Outback. There’s also a look
at how staff training programmes are improving
customer service at Watson’s Wine Cellar stores
as well as a mouth-watering piece on why today’s
chefs are warming to the delights of induction
cooking.
We hope you enjoy the magazine.
