It matters a lot to employees if their opinions count. That's because people work much harder at something that is at least partly their own idea, according to the authors of 12: The Elements of Great Managing.

The new format of your Web pages does not lend itself to printing, even in the "Print" mode. The text will not fit on the page.

The printing issue is currently being worked on, until a resolution is fixed, you can always choose "Shrink to Fit" from the print dialogue box and all of the text will show up.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but it should be fixed within the next week or so. Thanks
