And a very, very happy New Year to you!

No, I was sure you did not mean anything negative, but I was so interested in your view, and I was a little bit puzzled about what you said. I was interested, because I am developing some coaching/teaching/training-programmes for a "Re-integration-Bureau". This business was created, because in our country we have just a year ago implemented a totally new law for employees who get ill. Where I live,over the past ten years the views of what is to be called a sickness, and how it is to be treated have completely, completely changed. And for people that suffer from workaholic behaviour and get sick because of it, our doctors now advise: after a short rest, get back to work, even if you are not yet feeling well at all (either in your own company, or if the patient is not up to that yet, in a re-integrarion bureau) and by doing so, try to solve the workrelated problems.
The company the patient worked for when he/she got sick, has to pay the salary for two years and is during those two years fully responsible for a good programme of re-integration.
So that was the reason your post interested me so much.

I am very sorry you thought that I felt that there was something negative in your post: I must have formulated my post in a clumsy way.
So my goal for 2008: formulate better posts!

Looking forward to meeting you on the forum again.
