[asia-apec 830] staff policy at arena

[Administration]

Dear Arena Friends -- I wrote to you a month or so ago to seee 
if you could help us. At Focus we are trying to pull together a 
staff policy and it would be really helpful if we had an idea of 
what other similar organisation offer for salary, housing 
allowances, leave, health care and so on. I would really 
appreciate any assistance. Thanks and best regards, Nicola 
Bullard
