It's all about the people

Leading an SME, managing people in difficult times, staying legal, keeping people safe and staying in business are the topics in our latest Risk Management in a Crisis series of podcasts for leaders of businesses.Kim Jones runs a Q&A session with an expert panel that is packed with insights, hints and tips for dealing with the current situation and some thoughts about the future. Sarah Whittock of Whittock Consulting gave us some practical guidance and insight to ensure stay within the law and follow good practice; Lisa Jones of HeadStrong Training helped us understand how best to look after our employees, managers and our leaders experiencing stress; and Simon Kelly of Excellect encouraged us to review our existing employee benefits and activate them for our employees and think about the future.  The powerful thread running through our conversation was communication and listening to your people.  Being proactive and responsive, consistent, factual and fun. Please get in touch if you'd like to talk about how to survive and thrive through this crisis.
