Work Matters: Policy Q&A: Sustainability - Be flexible in uncertain times

Nursery managers need to monitor their businesses carefully in the changing political and economic landscape and be ready to react to new trends and options, says Robert Collier.

This will be the Government's main priority, particularly given that the emergence from recession has been shaky so far and there is a real fear that we may experience a double-dip in the economy, bearing in mind recent events in Greece.
