5 Ways Your Business Can Benefit from Quality Advice This is an exciting time to be running a business. While there are challenges and threats ahead, there are also all kinds of opportunities and possibilities to explore.

Having helped and advised businesses for over twenty years, it has been my experience that times of change are periods when forward-looking people are able to achieve the greatest rewards.

If you are seeking to position yourself for growth, there are a number of real and tangible ways in which we can help contribute to your success.

Whatever your business, you will benefit by receiving quality advice from advisers who are approachable and trustworthy: it is worth its weight in gold!

1. A Fresh Perspective As you consider your ideas and dreams for your business or for a new venture, a good adviser can help you to think and talk these through, and to:

• Assess the merits of alternative options • Begin to turn thoughts into actions • Identify and overcome obstacles • Gain confidence in your ideas • Communicate plans to stakeholders or investors.

2. The Right Facts A common feature of successful business people is that they face the facts, whether good or bad, without flinching. They want to know how their business is doing, which aspects are profitable, about seasonal variations and so on, so that they can make well-informed decisions. We can help you to devise high quality management information systems so that you have the right facts when you need them.

3. Lighter Burdens Dillamore & Co Ltd Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers Robin Dillamore Director

T: 01978 752000 E: robin@dillamore.co.uk www.dillamore.co.uk

We can help you to keep the burden of tax on your business to a minimum, especially if you involve us in the early stages of planning new ventures and deals. This burden on businesses is significant, and is almost certain to increase. By obtaining sound advice, you are able to achieve a competitive advantage while at the same time fulfilling your legal obligations.

4. Outside Help

5. Peace of Mind

There may be areas where you feel the need for assistance, but you may not wish to take on additional employees to handle them.

Examples would include payroll, VAT returns and management accounts. We can provide an extra pair of hands to look after any or all of these, and we can also fulfil the role of a part-time finance director. This means that you receive the help you need while at the same time maintaining a leaner cost base.

One of the fulfilling aspects of what we do is taking the worry out of tax and accounts for our clients. They can be confident that their financial matters are in good hands; we are able to handle communications with the tax authorities; and we also explain things in plain English.

We will be more than happy to draw on our experience of advising successful businesses in order to help your business to grow in the months ahead.

Please call me on 01978 752000 to arrange your free initial consultation.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS - FIVE WAYS TO ‘BUY SMARTER’

Today many UK businesses need to make deeper cost cuts than in any previous trading period, and employee benefits are invariably in the firing line. But viable businesses also recognise that to trade their way out of recession they must retain, incentivise and protect their very best people.

Fulcrum specialises in helping employers to design, buy and communicate better benefits.

Our advice is not to rely on insurer-competition alone to deliver significant price cuts; here are 5 ways that you can ‘buy smarter’...

1. Think ‘modular’ when reviewing Private Medical Insurance: Modern PMI plans offer options that enable benefits to be added or removed to achieve a more tailored premium.

This means everything from the extent and type of outpatient treatment, to the location of eligible hospitals. So it’s worth considering what you actually need rather than just re-pricing what you currently have.

2. Tighten your Income Protection scheme wording: Conventional IP schemes assess ‘incapacity’ solely on how it affects a claimant’s performance of their own job. In our experience this relatively low threshold can result in some pretty soft claims being met (where the employee could easily do other suited work – or in extreme cases, where there isn’t even a clear medical diagnosis supporting their claim). We can help you to test fairer more affordable plan designs.

3. Let an EB specialist review your Business Travel insurance: A lot of our customers used to regard PA/Travel as a commercial risk, leaving it in the hands of their general brokers. But it isn’t the biggest commercial premium so is often renewed without much attention paid to plan design. Our message is that PA/Travel is a key employee protection benefit – and with our contacts in this market we would expect to save you money and/or significantly improve your coverage.

4. If your business provides benefits to employees in more than one country... pooling common contracts like Life Assurance could net you a significant share of any combined underwriting profits. We can show you how to arrange this.

Malcolm Brebner Director – Fulcrum insured employee benefits ltd www.fulcrumieb.co.uk

5. Check out Dental Insurance: New benefits probably aren’t at the top of your ‘to do’ list at the moment, but there is a business case for dental care... All employees are likely to spend some taxed income on dentistry every year (more often if they could afford it). Benefit payments from a company dental plan are tax-free; the premium is allowable as a business

expense; and its modest price tag could deliver a much bigger ‘bang for buck’ than an equivalent pay rise…

ANNUAL REPORT 2009/2010

West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce

n ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2009/2010

INTRODUCTION The year ending December 2009 was a traumatic year for the Chamber, marked by the loss of our colleague Bob Williams, who served the Chamber for a relatively short period but made a very useful contribution during his period as CEO. We are most grateful to Bob for his contribution and wish him well in his retirement to Scotland. The Chamber finances held up well despite the recession but the continual challenge to hold membership remains one of the main key tasks for our Chamber. A challenge experienced by all members of the British Chambers of Commerce particularly when businesses need to continually evaluate costs due to declining revenues, tackle the increased burden of “red tape” and constantly rebalance their business.

As you will note the Chamber has undertaken a name change to now become the West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce reflecting the new unitary authority change and better reflecting our membership portfolio. The Chamber also rebranded to match the new British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) colours and logos differentiating your local Chamber as a member of the nationwide body of professional Chambers.

Your Chamber takes the view that it is even more important than ever to have a strong and vibrant Chamber to provide a business support network and strong private sector representation. In essence a high value business support network for the region. During the year the Chamber has introduced a number of new initiatives to further strength the “Voice of Business” which is clearly lacking in the area. It is clear from extensive dialogue with both public and private sector leaders, that there is still a desire for, as well as a strong need for, a vibrant effective Chamber of Commerce in this region. This region, as with all others, is under significant economic pressure and it is critical that business support organisations exist to assist existing business and to encourage and support new businesses.

There is no question that 2009 was an extremely tough year for business and while the start of 2010 show some signs of light at the end of the tunnel many industry experts, including BCC, predict another very tough 12 months ahead.

ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2009/2010 n

BANK OF AMERICA The Chamber has much to thank our good colleagues in the Bank of America for, for their most generous support during the year and in particular Mr Gregory Reed, President of Europe Card Services, a member of the Chamber Board, for the provision of an Executive, Mr Mike Jones.

Mike during his six month term as the Chamber Interim CEO has provided the Chamber with outstanding management expertise. He has enabled the Chamber to refocus, produced a valuable and professional three-year Business Plan. This plan will be a keystone to help the new CEO take the Chamber forward help to ensure the Chamber achieves a sound financial result rebuilding our reserves. I would like to thank Mike and Bank of America on behalf of the Board and the Chamber membership for their magnificent contribution to the progress of the Chamber.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE The Chamber’s financial performance in 2009 was much improved on recent years. The Chamber traded at a surplus on a comparable basis with previous years of £4,341. However, once adjustment is made for income accruals this equates to loss before tax of £4,657.

For full breakdown of annual accounts, please refer to www.cepnwchamber.org.uk.

The Business model has been put under severe scrutiny during 2009, and every element of revenue and expense has been questioned to ensure the business is performing at its most effective.

The benefits of this approach have been recognised and will continue to be realised in both the tight expense management and focus on membership revenue generation.

MEMBERSHIP The Chamber has remained fairly static in terms of membership numbers over the course of 2009 Whilst we have recruited approx 140 new members to the organisation approximately 140 have left the organisation, predominantly as a result of either liquidation or central consolidation.

n ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2009/2010

INNOVATION The year has been one of innovation, of developing new ideas and new direction to ensure the Chamber is dynamic and flexible to cope with the dramatically changing world of business. a) MD’s Forum The MD’s Forum has been formed by the Chamber Chairman to promote a common focus amongst SMEs to deliver wealth generation, employment, and prosperity to the region. It brings together MDs of diverse businesses interests across the region, along with senior public service executives, and other influential interested parties. The focus of the first meeting in September was to explore the general issues impacting on the business environment in the region. The debate concluded by focusing upon business concerns regarding poor infrastructure, the lack of cleanliness on our streets, and the level of alcohol related incidents; a particular citing was the fouling of the streets in Chester. The January meeting developed these themes and in general explored the environment, the political outlook, and the short and medium prospects for business in the region of West Cheshire & North Wales.

Summing up the theme of the meeting – there is a strong belief in the region, expressed both in the meeting and through continuous anecdotal evidence, that business confidence is quite good despite the depressing economic environment. This confidence is driven by decisive action that business managers are taking to react to continuous change and fluctuations in revenue. Your Chamber will continue to drive this forum forward as a defined voice for business, particularly harnessing MDs expertise on a quarterly basis. The next meeting scheduled for April at the Quay Hotel in Deganwy will focus on North Wales, followed by a July meeting in Ellesmere Port. b) Business Credit Card The launch of the new Business Credit Card in October 2009 focused on providing a product which gave access to a market leading credit facility for particularly SMEs. The Business Credit Card is a no annual fee product with numerous features and benefits including a free on-line account management tool to assist in expense reporting, management and control.

For any further information relating to this product, or information on how to apply go to www.cepnwchamber.org.uk. c) Export Documentation A new on-line Export Documentation service has been introduced to help speed the processing of documents d) Board Structure Strengthening the Board structure and Governance

THREE YEAR BUSINESS PLAN With the assistance of Bank of America and the Interim CEO Mike Jones a comprehensive strategic review of the Chamber was undertaken culminating in a three-Year Business Plan.

The strategic plan for 2010 and beyond focuses on three key areas: 1) Business Advocacy The ensure the Chamber is the business advocate “voice of business” for West Cheshire & North Wales, successfully lobbying each local authority and central government to deliver effect positive influence for the local business community.

2) Membership To grow and retain membership base by providing a high quality proposition, which provides business with products and services which deliver recognise delivers tangible value.

To continually engage with members to survey opinion on topical issues. To provide an opportunity for businesses to interact thereby enabling effective networking.

3) Stability & Sustainability The Chamber is an independent self-sustaining organisation. The business model for Chambers of Commerce has come under increased pressure during the past 3-5 years. The reliance on public sector funding which has subsequently been removed has caused many Chambers to cut back on resource and services.

The focus for this Chamber in the past six months has been to establish a stable, robust plan which can ensure the stability of the Chamber in this region for the long term.

BRITISH CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce is one of 53 Chambers who form the British Chamber of Commerce network.

It is the view of the Board of Directors to continue being part of the network and embrace the brand and governance provided by the BCC. The BCC enables this Chamber to have a direct dialogue with Whitehall and it is the view of this Chamber that provides invaluable link and assistance for lobbying for this region and fits well with our plans to improve our position as the Voice of Business for West Cheshire & North Wales.

I hope this overview gives you a better understanding of your Chamber during 2009 and some of the plans we have looking ahead. I would like to thank all the staff at the Chamber for their hard work during the year and a thank you to the membership for their support during this difficult period of recession. I hope we can look forward to making progress in 2010 providing your businesses with support and ensuring your voice is heard to help improve the opportunities for commerce in West Cheshire and North Wales.

n LOCAL SEARCH DIRECTORIES

How to Market Your Business Cost Effectively This Year’s Challenges The profitability of your business depends on attracting customers at the right cost.

This means your marketing has to be effective, both in terms of cost and the number of leads it generates. However there is a problem. Most, if not all marketing costs are rising and many previously profitable methods of marketing are draining profit not creating it.

Yellow pages advertising was never cheap but the number of people searching in the big yellow book is declining. Postage and print costs for direct mail are increasing whilst advertising rates in newspapers and magazines continue to rise despite readership levels falling – a true ‘double whammy’. So, off-line marketing activity is losing its effectiveness – very quickly.

Many people say that the answer is online marketing. A few years ago you could put up a web site and some business would trickle through. This is changing as more people market online, so just having a web site is not enough. It needs to be targeted correctly, monitored and promoted.

Internet marketing is not just about a web site either. You can list on local listings without a

034

site – but as more of your competitors sign up to the service, getting your entry near the top – where most of the revenue opportunities lie is increasingly difficult.

Then there is pay per click advertising - those adverts that show on the right hand side of the web search page. Whilst these offer another way for your business to be ‘found’ the associated costs are rising here too and the unwary can lose their marketing budget very quickly.

Directory of Chester offers another solution.

The Directory draws many thousands pairs of local eyes each month. Through a listing or a banner ad you can put your name right in front of your key local market. Listings are free or paid for – naturally you get more if you pay.

Directory of Chester works with the internet every day. As well as listing your business, you can discuss how we can work with you to: n Improve the position of your local listing,

So What CAN You Do?

n Get more sales from your web site and

The simple answer? Enrol at night school and learn all you can about internet marketing and the ‘new kid on the block’ mobile marketing.

One tip though, be sure to find a teacher who practices and does not simply ‘teach’ theory.

n Create effective internet and mobile

Another solution is to find a company that understands how you can market your services on line to squeeze out that last penny’s worth of value.

Before talking to them, decide what you are really trying to achieve, who your customer really is and what is it that you are trying to sell.

Then ask for a written proposal explaining exactly what they will do and how each step will promote your business.

TRAINING

West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce

n TRAINING

traini Why BUSINESS

is more important than ever

Never has the need for training been more apparent for business. With the economy having undergone such dramatic changes, the necessity to train people in order to secure new employment or make them better employees in tough times is seen as absolutely crucial.

Indeed, many business and economic support agencies have identified training as playing a key role in helping industry to take advantage of the opportunities presented to them as the economy slowly recovers.

Training falls into two categories, the re-training of people who have lost their jobs and the training of those already in employment but who wish to develop their skills further.

Retraining unemployed people is important because many will be keen to get back into work and to learn new skills if that is what required.

They may, for example, have worked in an engineering company that made staff redundant and are people with skills that can be adapted to other businesses in similar sectors. That is where training comes in.

Many specialist training companies and agencies take things a step further, not just helping people to adapt their existing skills but instead teaching them new ones so that they can find jobs in other fields as well.

Gone are the days when someone did the same job for life, now people are accustomed to switching careers half way through their working lives and training allows that to happen.

042

Another key role for training companies is helping those in work to hold onto, and develop, their jobs by exhibiting more flexible skills.

Training specialists have long pointed out that, even in difficult trading times, cutting back on training is a false economy because well-trained staff are better able to meet challenges and identify new business opportunities.

A key part of the training is teaching practical skills, everything from understanding changes in legislation to keeping on top of effective customer service.

Training companies also help employees recognise opportunities when they see them. That could be anything from tapping into new markets to coming up with ways of making sure that their employer makes inroads into foreign markets.

And it works. More and more businesses are seeing the benefits of such an approach as their staff use their new knowledge to take advantage of opportunities in the market place.

It is a message that is more important than ever.

It’s well known that most commercial drivers with vocational entitlements such as Categories D1, C1, D1+E, C1+E, C, D, C+E or D+E who have held a licence prior to 10th September 2008 for passenger categories and 10th September 2009 for freight categories, need to undertake 35 hours of Periodic Driver CPC Training before 9th September 2013 and 2014, respectively in order to retain their vocational entitlements and carry on driving. Most people consider 7 hours training each year to be the preferred solution to this requirement.

FINANC GETTING YOUR

RIGHT...THE EXPERT WAY

Good financial advice is crucial if businesses are to survive and the good advisers are the ones who pride themselves on working with their clients in a way which makes them feel comfortable.

They start by finding out what a business needs; it may be help with better financial management or it may be support applying for loans or grants to buy equipment or take on new staff.

Bringing in the specialist advisers is crucial because they are the ones who know what opportunities are available.

That means an initial meeting when the adviser, be it a specialist financial services company or based within a bank, sits down with the client and draws up a detailed plan based not just on current needs but also looking to the future - maybe even doing a little dreaming with the client!

Key to that is agreeing priorities. What does the client want to achieve in the short term, where do they want to be in the mid-term, what is the longterm vision? Where do they see their company in ten years and what kind of finance is required to make that possible?

Through talking things honestly and sensibly, adviser and client can work together to come up with an action plan which is based on a solid financial platform.

And the good advisers are flexible: they know that, as life progresses and businesses meet changing situations, their client’s needs and priorities will change. That means a financial plan that can be adapted when necessary.

050

West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce Business Directory 2010

Once that initial plan has been drawn up, the process moves onto the next stage, obtaining the finance to make things happen.

One way of obtaining finance is going to the banks but another way for businesses requiring injections of funds is approaching venture capitalists, who are well versed in assessing prospective partners’ financial needs and dovetailing them with their own.

Even in difficult economic times, such an approach should not be dismissed out of hand because a bright idea remains a bright idea and can attract funding to turn it into reality.

Indeed, there are those who argue that difficult economic times are the most important time to invest in new ideas because innovation is a key way of bringing the country out of recession. The history of British business has been scattered with tales of innovations that arose out of the need to create new markets.

None of it can happen without finance - and that means calling in expert help.

GET PA Paul Telfer, NatWest Regional Director, Cheshire & North Wales, examines the issue of cashflow and explains the practical steps local businesses can take to boost cashflow and help survive the economic downturn.

One of the most common reasons why a business fails is due to poor cashflow management. Many profitable businesses run into difficulties because they don’t address cashflow issues or have sufficient plans in place to balances income and expenditure.

Recent research conducted by NatWest shows that almost 40% of small and medium sized companies have no cash management strategy in place and almost a third (29%) take no action at all to ease their cashflow issues.

To help businesses manage their cashflow more efficiently, NatWest and RBS have created a practical guide which provides key tools to enable businesses monitor this issue. The guide, which is available from www.natwest.com and www.rbs.com, also contains information on what constitutes a viable business and an insight into what kind of information the bank would expect businesses to prepare when they are looking to secure funding.

There are several practical steps a business can take to continue trading successfully during the current economic downturn. These include: Cash is king - keep control of your cashflow by having the right management information and systems in place. They’ll allow you

052

West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce Business Directory 2010

to act on warning signs before they become a problem. Remember, Invoice Finance may be an answer to working capital problems.

Talk your professional advisors - there is a world of support available to small businesses via organisations such as the local Chamber of Commerce, Business Link and the North West Development Agency.

Get paid - you must set clear terms of business and collect debts promptly. If you’re worried about being paid, then consider stage payments or even cash on delivery to reduce your risk of bad debts Look at your costs - as sales fall, avoid taking on unprofitable business.

Cutting your costs can provide you with the scope to reduce prices.

If you take on big orders, you could be overlooking your smaller more profitable customers Spread the risk - don’t just rely on one or two customers. In an economic downturn, all it takes is for one of your customers to move to a cheaper supplier and your business is no longer viable. In past recessions, those that suffered were those that failed to go out and get new customers and those that succeeded were the ones that did.”

n CONFERENCE & EXHIBITIONS

CONFER CHOOSING THE RIGHT

VENUE...MADE SIMPLE

Anyone in business will tell you that, despite the rapid advances in communications technology, face-toface contact remains the best way of bringing in new contracts and retaining existing ones.

For many businesspeople, the place to do that is conferences, exhibitions and trade shows: humans still have a fundamental need to look each other in the eye when communicating.

That means not just having good conference facilities but the scope to provide quality food and relaxing areas where delegates can gather informally.

Flexible and efficient as it is, the Internet simply cannot satisfy that basic requirement and many people like to do their business face to face at such events.

When assessing the venue you are looking for a number of other important factors. Can the venue cope with the numbers expected to be delegates, has it got a good meeting room, will it provide equipment like projectors and Internet access, are the staff friendly and flexible in helping you meet your needs?

Events are also excellent because they offer companies the chance to present their wares in a way which encourages visitors to spend a little time browsing through the material on offer. In an increasingly fast-paced world, having the chance to take a little time is invaluable.

That initial interest in your products and services can, in turn, allow for conversations to start, relationships to develop and deals to be struck, either on the spot or in follow-up meetings after the all-important exchange of cards.

Many a longstanding business relationship started with a chance meeting at a conference.

So what are you looking for if you are trying to organise an event? Well, one of the key factors is a good location, somewhere easy to reach and attractive for people looking to attend, especially if they will be staying overnight.

056

West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce Business Directory 2010

If the answers to those questions are yes then the event is likely to be a success. Experienced venue managers and their staff already know what is important to their users and will do everything in their power to make sure that the delegates’ needs are met.

Their staff have been training in conference management and know that the human touch is just as important as the right equipment. The good venues are the ones that can tailor themselves to providing the exact needs of the event organisers - and there are plenty of them around.

HEALTH & SAFETY

West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce

n HEALTH AND SAFETY

safE Keeping things

SPECIAL FEATURE

There are economies in business and there are false economies: health and safety certainly falls into the latter category because of the impact that neglecting this important area can have.

According to business experts, companies that are tempted to cut their health and safety expenditure to help them ease financial pressures during difficult times need to reconsider and instead make it a much higher priority.

Recent years have seen health and safety legislation having a greater impact than ever before on daily business life, and the laws are not just relevant to factories and chemical plants but also to smaller businesses and places like schools and leisure centres.

There are several reasons why this has been happening but all are driven by the growing awareness of the need to preserve the safety of employees, contractors and visitors on sites.

Barely a week goes by without a story in the national, local or specialist press about the consequences of a company or organisation failing in their heath and safety responsibilities.

That is why more companies are increasingly turning to experts who can guide them through the myriad of measures that they need to take.

Such specialists are able to guide businesses through the increasingly complex health and safety legislation, ensuring that they meet the criteria relevant to their industries.

062

West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce Business Directory 2010

Expert advisers are also useful because they can spot hazards which can be overlooked in the daily rush: for instance, an employer may not realise that workers needing to climb ladders need specialist training.

They may wonder why they should invest in such training when finances are tight but there are plenty of cases of employees overbalancing and sustaining injuries as a result. They are classic examples of accidents waiting to happen but which could have been avoided by a few commonsense measures.

The effect of ignoring such requirements can be long-lasting and devastating, not just for the person involved but for the employer, who may find themselves facing large compensation claims and having to deal with a damaged reputation for safety.

Taken to the final extent, there may even be a prosecution with the company taken to court and hit with a hefty fine. And all because an easily-avoided problem was ignored.

And ladder safety is only an example; there are plenty of other everyday hazards which is why companies that advice in health and safety are so important because their advice can save not just money but also lives.

n HANDSON SAFETY SERVICES

Good Health and Safety = Good Business The goal of all occupational safety and health programs is to foster a safe accident/incident free work environment.

As a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and other members of the public who are impacted by the workplace environment.

The reasons for establishing good occupational safety and health standards are often identified as: n Moral - An employee should not have to risk injury or death at work,

nor should others associated with the work environment. n Economic - Poor occupational safety and health performance

results in cost to the State (e.g. through social security payments to the incapacitated, costs for medical treatment, and the loss of the ‘employability’ of the worker). Employing organisations also sustain costs in the event of an incident at work (such as legal fees, fines, compensatory damages, investigation time, lost production, lost goodwill from the workforce, from customers and from the wider community). n Legal - Occupational safety and health requirements may be

reinforced in civil law and/or criminal law; it is accepted that without the extra ‘encouragement’ of potential regulatory action or litigation, many organisations would not act upon their implied moral obligations.

Occupational health and safety has thankfully come a long way from its beginnings, particularly in the heavy industry sectors. It now has an impact on every worker, in every work place, and those charged with managing health and safety are having to keep abreast of more and more tasks that become added to their portfolio. n Unfortunately however, there were still 180 fatal injuries to workers in

Great Britain during 2008/9, with 53 of these being in construction and 26 in agriculture n A total of 29.3 million working days were lost overall – 24.6 million due

to work-related ill health and 4.7 million due to workplace injury.

Whilst the 2008/9 fatality rate figures do show a statistically significant decrease compared to the average rate for the last 5 years, and a continued underlying downward trend, there is quite clearly more to be done.

Recently Health and Safety within the workplace has taken a number of further positive steps away from reactive, accident-based management to a preventative ‘pro-active’ approach, involving the appointment of ‘competent’ people.

Employers must have access to competent help in applying the provisions of health and safety law, and are solely responsible for ensuring that those they appoint to assist them with health and safety measures are competent to carry out the tasks they are assigned and are given adequate information and support to achieve this.

A ‘competent’ person is deemed to be somebody with sufficient experience, training, knowledge and/or other qualities to undertake the role, particularly risk assessment.

064

n Effective management systems designed to reduce injuries and ill

health n Demonstration of the importance of health and safety at board level

Effective management of health and safety: n Is vital to employee well-being n Has a role to play in enhancing the reputation of businesses and

helping them achieve high-performance teams n Is proven to be financially beneficial to business.

It is important for employers to recognise that their most valuable resource is their workers and that protecting their health and safety is fundamental to improving business performance, as well as being a legal requirement.

Smaller organisations will often make the Health and Safety ‘competent’ person function one part of a job, with the individual concerned doublehatted, whilst larger organisations will employ a specialist (or specialists), or use a consultancy.

Employers who are able to create an environment of awareness and openness with their workforce are in a better position to ensure that any Health and Safety concerns are identified and corrected, and that by changing attitudes and behaviour they will be able to reap the undisputed benefits that can be gained by achieving a safe working environment.

All organisations therefore need to ensure that the risks to health and safety of workers are properly controlled, which, In terms of corporate responsibility will mean:
