Home Depot's new CEO has much repair work to do
ATLANTA, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Home Depot Inc.'s new chairman and chief executive, Frank Blake, has a ton of repair work to do for shareholders, workers and consumers, experts said this week. While the exit of former CEO Robert Nardelli after six years removes a target of criticism, the world's largest home improvement retailer is far from out of the woods, as activist investors push for change while takeover talk persists.
In addition to improving relations with angry shareholders, Blake will have to shore up Home Depot's stores to fend off rival Lowe's Cos. , and show that the lower-margin supply business and a move into China can deliver meaningful returns.
"This used to be a growth stock and now it's a value stock," said Bill Schultz, chief investment officer at McQueen, Ball & Associates, which owns Home Depot shares.
Lack of Incentives Prevent Employees Going Green At Work
Lack of incentive and leadership from bosses is causing UK employees to leave their environmental conscience at home, needlessly costing UK businesses thousands of pounds in energy bills, and emitting hundreds and thousands of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, according to independent research commissioned by international solutions provider, Logicalis.
The survey of over 1,000 employees, undertaken in December 2006, across UK public and private sector organisations, found that despite a clear understanding of the steps they need to adopt to become more environmentally friendly, employees still look towards their employer to lead by example when it comes to being environmentally responsible.
Just under two thirds (62 per cent) of staff said their employer should offer incentives for being green in the workplace while 57 per cent said they could be encouraged to act greener if their employer 'led by example'.

The BBB will have information on that business if there have been disputes or other problems. You'll want to look for a pattern of "Unresolved" or "Unanswered" disputes, which will be an indication that there is a problem with the company in question.
