PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

Martor USA's newest innovation...a Safety Sack Opener. The Easysafe features a patented cutting head design allowing for easy initiation of the cut while maintaining blade contact with the material, even on single layers of film or paper. The piercing point allows for insertion of the cutter into all types of paper and plastic sacks. The integrated replaceable tape slitter safely cuts packaging tape without an exposed blade. The unit allows for an easy blade change – no tools required! The cutter is capable of being locked with a special key to change the blade. The required Lock Screw Wrench must be ordered separately under No. 9924.

Restore Concrete in Three Easy Steps
HAMPSHIRE, IL: MEADOW-PATCH T2 is a two-component concrete resurfacer from W. R. MEADOWS. It is an economical way to repair damaged concrete slabs. The product will repair minor deteriorated, spalled, scaled, and defective concrete. After mixing, MEADOW-PATCH T2 becomes a creamy, easy-to-apply mixture that can be poured or sprayed onto the defective concrete area. After being applied, the product can be finished to a smooth, even surface. It dries to a light gray color, closely matching the original concrete appearance. MEADOW-PATCH T2 allows for concrete damage to be repaired easily, and eliminates the high costs of replacing an entire concrete slab. The three easy application steps consist of cleaning and priming the surface to be repaired, mixing and applying MEADOW-PATCH T2, and then finishing the surface with a broom or trowel. --- W.R. Meadows, Inc.

INDUSTRY TRENDS
Employee Replacement vs. Employee Retention
"Employee turnover costs in the U.S. total more than $140 billion annually. Corporate interest in retention management and succession planning is growing with 61 percent of companies worried about the costs and disruption of frequent turnover, says Karen Renk, CAE, Executive director of the Incentive Marketing Association. "So, in an era of cost containment and corporate downsizing, is it more cost-effective to replace or retain employees? Acknowledgment of the total lifetime value of employees to their companies has drawn little attention up to now, but new information is demonstrating how the allocation of training, specialized workplace opportunities, bonuses and rewards are, in fact, increasing the bottom line value of seasoned employees. There appears to be a direct connection between engaged, long-term employees and bottom-line financial results that can be influenced by proactive interventions, such as increased training and motivation, by employers. Not only can the benefits of investments be measured, but they can now also be correlated to the concept of customer lifetime value."
