ASB Work-Life Balance Weekend 2010

The ASB Work-Life Balance weekend this year was held on 19-21 March at Inchyra Grange, near Polmont. It proved to be just as insightful, relaxed and fun as previous years, and was a weekend not to be missed. The theme was "Who do you think you are?", and explored our behaviours, personality traits and effectiveness by means of a wide range of activities - including a Spyhunt, Insight Discovery workshops, relaxation in the spa or pool, wine tasting and more!
