Hello RNG,

I was hoping to get some help or feedback from my peers.

My organization is currently embarking upon a global employee referral program and are coming up against a wall when it comes to best practices in Asia and Latin America in terms of referral bonuses.

If anyone has information on best practices in these countries, or has contacts that I may be able to touch base with it would be appreciated.

I was reading an article the other day that started by saying ,… “A surprisingly big increase in the number of self-employed workers in Canada last month has provided a sign that the deepest recession in decades could be approaching bottom, although observers say it's too soon to say the labour market recovery is at hand.” http://bit.ly/13QChP

I don’t think that the article reveals the “whole truth” and may just a shot of unreal optimism to keeps spirits high. Not that I don't appreciate the intent,.. but not at the expense of reality.
