Nothing in our report will operate in a silo. For every recommendation, it will have to be stated, "to be considered in tandem with X, Y or Z". There is no one single solution, whether it be terms and conditions, workload, or dealing with a supervisor with whom a person does not get on. At the end of the day, they are human beings; therefore, there will always be such issues. It might also involve circumstances outside our current thinking. Of course, there has to be a broad approach in dealing with this issue. We are not at cross-purposes.
