If ever we were seeking an example of why companies need an automated system to manage holiday entitlements, we need look no further than the current Ryanair debacle.

How many steps have you walked today? Are you feeling smug having already clocked up the recommended 10,000 by lunchtime, or are you among the majority who only manage an average of 3-4,000 a day?

I’ve recently been involved in helping to organise an event which is being put on at extremely short notice.
