SUMMARY:Lake Macquarie Business Networking - April 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interesting look at Compliance within your business. Michael Huggett from CHD Partners will be providing the following presentation along with taking time to network and chat in a casual and welcoming environment. \nCompliance – Good\, Bad or Bullshit \nCompliance for business is becoming more complex particularly around work health safety and security. \nMick Huggett from CHD Partners will be conducting a workshop on Compliance – Good\, Bad or Bullshit. \nMick has been working in compliance for over thirty years\, including 16 years in the NSW Police and 20 years running CHD Partners. \nMany business owners believe that they are too small or not in an industry for which they have compliance requirements. \nI speak to business owners frequently\, and there are always fixed feelings. \nI am too small \nTo busy \nNot sure what to do. \nUnfortunately\, in today’s world\, some individuals feel entitled to a free ride or see an opportunity to make a quick buck. This is exacerbated by the media advertisements for lawyers who promote the idea that you don’t pay if you don’t win claims. This includes individuals making bogus claims of bullying and harassment. \nCustomers or clients claim they injured themselves during an event. \nContractors who injure themselves and then see an opportunity to make a claim against the organisation (public liability). \nThis event lets you understand your legal requirements and how to mitigate risk and protect your greatest assets\, your business and your family. \nClick here to book tickets
