When the play encourages the employees to be exceeded

To encourage the games of chance to dope the performance of the employees is very in vogue on the other side of the Atlantic. The more so as this concept can decrease the absenteeism.
The play does not have, in theory, its place on the place of work, but the things change since the old injuries “accros” with the machines with under casinos inspire the experts in motivation of the personnel. It is, indeed, starting from their observation that Brooks Mitchell, a professor of a university of Wyoming, at the United States, set up with some alumni a innovating tool of motivation of the employees.

Baptized “Snowfly”, this play rests on a multiplication of immediate rewards since an employee achieves the goal which was assigned to him. Of course, it is not a question to waste its time to play in line with the recluse or with the injuries, in hiding-place and in its corner, but to use the play like a lever of improvement of the productivity. The originality of the concept is that this program of motivation functions like a casino on line and that the employees, with the blessing of their hierarchy, are incited to use their computer like a machine with under.

Result: reduction of costs, raises of a productivity, sales turnover stronger, followed by a specific training, all is good to be rewarded. Moreover, in softener professional environment, the play makes people happier to work and decreases the absenteeism. Often décriés, the business games are sometimes regarded as powder of perlimpinpin by certain companies and consultants and it is necessary to know to make the sorting in the plethora of proposed plays. However, of the groups as serious as Danone, Cisco Systems, Borland Software incorporate various forms of plays in their process of formation. And at Dirty LDF & Distributing, an American drink distributer which has used the Snowfly program for three years, one posts tangible results. The losses on inventories of the group decreased by half and generated 31.000 dollars of economies (24.240 euros) since the direction gratifie of points employees which check the containers rather twice that one. Even inciting system within the bank First Interstate, crowned results. The establishment, which had habit to offer a voyage in Las Vegas with its best salesman of credit cards, preferred to resort to Snowfly, a system nimbus of behavioral psychology, to make it possible paid to better establish the link between awaited behavior and rewards and to improve the productivity. Result: since the installation of the game of chance on line, each department exceeded its sales goals of credit cards and one of them multiplied its objectives by eight.

Two dozen companies adopted Snowfly: Alliance Dated System, Interstate, LDF Sales & Distributing, SME, Roto-Rooter… The play, which adapts to the objectives of each company customer attracts particularly young people. The most powerful employees receive a number of points - from 2 to 5.000 - which they can then play as good seems to them (machines with under, horse-races, card decks, etc). Each point is worth 1 hundred and everyone - of the counter clerk, truck-driver, manager, telesales operator with the intermediate framing - has its chances. The success of the program rests on a system of immediate rewards. The personalization of the rewards makes the difference and the implication in the play of the intermediate framing guarantees the perenniality of the system.

The cost of installation of the process depends on the size of the company, but its minimal price rises with 10.000 dollars (7.816 euros). In same time, the setting on line of the tool decreases the administrative loads, facilitates the follow-up of the performances under a ludic aspect. The goal of the companies which adopt Snowfly does not have anything social. To dope moral teams is essential for their good walk and much see in this play an unexpected means to reduce or freeze the wages without giving up encouraging the premiums. Fisrt Intestate spends 12.000 dollars per annum (9.386 euros) against 4.000 before, but the bank estimates to be better found there.

Remain that, for some, this system plays only on the only cord of the inciting one. It is not adapted to more creativity or of inventiveness. It is then necessary to pass to more sophisticated methods - which can be done quite as ludic - likely to facilitate the strategic decision-making and the role plaies. And, especially, the important thing is to know why people play. “You can play for various reasons: to divert you, to beat the neighbor or to be number one. Each reason orders a different behavior”, explains Jeffrey Goldstein, reprocessed professor of the university of Utrecht.

Do casino and Football make they good household?

In August, the Casinos on line had the wind in poop within the Clubs of Foot. One then attended an era of new taken! Euphoria of the Casinos on line as sponsor of clubs!

Indeed, Casino 888.com sponsorisait the FC Toulouse and PartyGaming the FNCA of Nantes! Yes but here, it was without counting on the Professional League of Football.

Did last Sunday, on the shirts of the FC Toulouse, one find well the colors of the casino but the signs???is .com. What this thus???.com you will say to me. It is quite simply about its sponsor Casino 888.com.

Why?

Whereas the players have as an obligation to bear the colors and the name of the casino, the professional League, as for it, decided to exclude the casinos from publicity and sponsoring. From where the omission. However, everyone will have included/understood it the initials??? referred well to the casino sponsor of the team.

The League explains its refusal. Because of arrest of certain giants of casinos on line since September, whose to derneir it in date of Bwin stopped in France, the league sees the right to prohibit publicity, sponsoring for the bets on line.

Saturday, another team, the FC Monaco encountered the same problem as the FC Toulouse at the time of its match vis-a-vis Mans. A representative of the team explains that, without this alternative, the blow of sending of the match could not have been given.

One still remembers the words of Jean-Luc Gripond, vice-president of the Nantes club, “the FCNA decided to join a new sponsor laying out: “firstly an international dimension, and our football needs partners of this dimension, secondly a bond with new technologies, which represents for us the future”.

What is it today?

A survey was carried out (see our article Bonnes News for the Casinos on Line).

The bets are monopoly of state in France and one could think that the arrest of the executives of BWin took place for the benefit of the Frenchwoman of the plays. Also, little time after, the European Commission decided to be interested more closely in the question of the monopoly of State for the bets and the plays. The will of the commission is clearly posted, either the Member States considers them harmful for their nationals and prohibits the plays on line completely, or they authorize them and make it possible the companies like 888.com to offer their services on the market.

888 could be made swallow

Weakened by the prohibition of the play on line in the United States, 888.comcould be the target of a repurchase of Ladbrokes. The British chain of shops of bets, which studies a possible offer, would be ready to spend according to the press 470 million books, that is to say 703 million euros. 888 weighed Friday 372,5 million books to London Stock Exchange, after having lost about half of its value since last month. The vote of the American law could start a wave of consolidation according to analysts', with the entry in string of groups of more traditional plays like Ladbrokes or William Hill.

Microsoft says you'll also wait for Office suite

SEATTLE - Three days after saying it will delay the consumer version of its new Windows Vista operating system, Microsoft Corp. said Friday that the update to its Office business software suite also won't appear in stores until January.

The new version of Office, the popular suite that includes a word processor, Excel spreadsheet and Outlook e-mail, had been expected to be widely released by year's end.

In a prepared statement, the Redmond, Wash., software company said Office 2007 will be completed in October as planned and will be available at that time to large customers that buy software licenses in bulk. But it will not hit retail shelves until January, to coincide with Windows Vista's retail debut.

Malina Johnson, a spokeswoman with Microsoft's public relations firm Waggener Edstrom, said in an e-mail that the decision to delay the release of the retail version is "simply an indication of our desire to provide an easy retail experience by coordinating delivery with Windows Vista." She said development of the product is on track.

Microsoft will release some versions of Windows Vista to businesses in November. But the company said Tuesday it would release the consumer version in January, after computer makers and others complained that setbacks in the new operating system were making it tough to prepare for a holiday sales push.

The delay, which the company said resulted in part from efforts to improve security, is the latest in a series of hiccups for Windows Vista. But the lag could undermine Microsoft's standing.

In the half-decade it has taken the company to develop the new version of Windows, Google has blossomed from a little-watched Internet search engine to one of Microsoft's biggest threats.

Words such as "blog" and "spyware" have entered the popular lexicon, in their own ways transforming the online experience. Apple's iPod and RIM's BlackBerry have revolutionized on-the-go gadgetry, becoming just two of the myriad competitors challenging the world's largest software company.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has undergone major changes of its own, including a massive retrenchment to focus on security and moves to get further into businesses as varied as video game consoles and online mapping.

Yet the company has struggled to push out the next release of its flagship product.

"The product is clearly now really late," said Rob Enderle, who is among the industry analysts who once expected the new Windows version as early as 2003.

The release of Vista was thrown off track in early 2002, when Chairman Bill Gates ordered the entire company to focus on improving the security of its existing and future products, following a series of embarrassing breaches.

The time-consuming effort included a major security update, Service Pack 2. But the work also took engineers away from developing Vista.

"We made the decision that it was more important for our customers to improve the security of our existing products than it was to accelerate the introduction" of Windows Vista, said Brad Goldberg, general manager of Microsoft's Windows Client product management.

Goldberg counts the Service Pack 2 release â as well as versions of Windows for Tablet PCs and computers that are meant to be media hubs â as evidence that the company has been quite busy despite what may appear to be a long stretch between Windows XP and Vista.

"We actually feel like we've released a lot in the last five years," he said.

Efforts to further improve security in Vista continue to be a factor in more recent delays, which analysts say are likely because the company wants to make further, aggressive improvements.

For example, the new version of Windows will include more sophisticated ways to prevent people from downloading dangerous software.

Al Gillen, a research director with IDC, said the improvement is important but also quite difficult because Microsoft must make sure that users can still easily use legitimate programs.

It's one of many ways that Windows' vast popularity can be both a blessing and a curse. When a new version is released, the company must ensure its compatibility with existing printers, photo-editing software and hundreds of thousands of other non-Microsoft products.

"They really do have a lot of baggage they drag on," Gillen said.

Security and compatibility aren't all to blame. Microsoft also is trying to make long-overdue improvements to the architecture of the operating system. Over many releases, analysts say, the system became unwieldy, making simple jobs complex because various pieces of the system were so interconnected.
