Spent a super day with a team of ABSA staff, Cape Town area  Branch members with quite a few years service!  Many thanks to you all for the positive comments and feedback about the presentation.  We did Health and Safety Representatives, and the course can be quite dry and legalistic, but man, did the ladies make it an interesting dicussion forum! 
I was astonished at the level of dedication and the sheer diversity of issues they have to deal with in what I thought was a fairly bland working environment.  When discussing the types of hazards in the workplace, the category "behavioural" came up.  It would seem that working with the public in the banking sector can be quite stressful, and requires  of the staff to be on the toes and at their best performance from the moment they begin work until the doors close.
So thanks for the friendly interaction, and keep up the good work Anna, Anneline, Tanya and Luintus.  See you guys soon
