Hearing about the magical first aid course the blond cleared her throat and spoke up after 4 or 5 employee already had signed up for the course. "I'd like to sign up for the aid course too if there are still open spots, Althea?" Thinking Tasha asked "Do you need someone to go to the other departments and promote the aid course?" It wouldn't be any trouble for her to mention an aid course since she already had buiseness on some of the other levels.

Furrowing her brows she asked "In the new re-model will there be a space for maps and the creation of miniture models of locations and sites? I'd like such a space to be able to plan and test out concealment techniques for future events before I go out to the field and test things out in muggle inhabited areas."

"Yes, of course Natasha." Her quill added the woman's name and Althea looked over at her at the next question. "No, not at this stage. Initially my goal is to focus on upskilling within our own department." The rest was the Minister's problem except in instances where accidents -or, you know, catastrophes- happened.

And as for her suggestion she nodded at that. "That's a good idea. Something we can include in the main work areas I think. I'll work with you on that."

... and apparently nobody else had any more input? Well, that was good, she supposed, if it meant the meeting would be over with quickly. Althea quickly went over a few more things and about ten minutes later she was done.

"Alright that wasn't too painful was it?" They had best not disagree. Mmmhmm.

"I'd like you all to take the opportunity over the next few days to think about work standards and performance indicators that we can all agree on as a minimum here in Accidents and Catastrophes. You have this opportunity to put in your two knuts, but if you don't wish to that is fine because I have a list myself that we can go off - though if you don't choose to contribute, I expect to hear no complaints about the eventual KPIs set in place." Which was fair no? If you didn't speak up, then shut up. Made perfect sense. She was willing to give everyone the opportunity to say their piece, it was up to them to take it.

"And please, while I won't go so far as to say my door is open any time," because it was NOT and she would hex the crap out of anyone who assumed it was and decided to barge in. "I do want you all to know that I will make the time for any one of you who has concerns, questions, or ideas."

Her Quill stopped writing with a decisive full stop, almost popping through the parchment page and she gave it a disapproving look, which caused its feather to wilt a little in apology.

"And of course do make use of the new facilities! And keep up with the memos, I assure you all the important information will be included, and there is no excuse for not knowing something when the pertinent information is made readily available. Lets get to it."

OOC: The meeting has ended. Sorry it took so long, I was hoping more people would respond I'll always do my best to give plenty of time and opportunity for everyone to join in, but it looks like we've all been pretty busy.
