Today, many corporations have large mobile workforces, in sales and field service roles. Frequently, these mobile workers have little or no remote access to core business applications of their organisation. Voice and paper are still the main communication method for these employees to communicate and interact with the corporate backend. An obvious example is a Salesperson, who has to make a voice call to the corporate office to enquire whether an item he is selling is in stock or not. Typically he would make this call in the middle of his sales negotiation with the prospect. If he manages to close the deal, he would manually fill up the order form, which he would either hand deliver to the corporate office at the end of his day or if the organisation is slightly tech savvy, he would fax it to the corporate office. The inefficiencies in t
It is estimated by the Health and Safety Executive that UK workers sustain 850,000 injuries at work every year, but 9/10 of these people do not get any compensation.
There are a number of possible reasons why this is so.
1. Eligibility for compensation
To make a claim following an accident at work it needs to be proved that the employer failed in their duty of care to provide a safe environment for the employee (this is known as negligence) and that an injury occurred as a result.
A duty of care is the legal responsibility that an employer has to take practical steps to protect his employees from harm. There are conditions to this; duty of care is limited to what is deemed reasonable.
There are all sorts of ways that an employer could fail in their duty of care. Just a few examples of this are: a lack of safety equipment, dangerous machinery or premises, and a lack of proper training or supervision.
If an employee is injured in an accident caused by their employer’s negligence, they are entitled to claim compensation.
2. Making a claim
Many people are deterred from making a claim simply because they don’t know how to.
The first thing to do is to get legal advice from a solicitor who specialises in personal injury law or a reputable accident compensation company on whether you have a valid claim. The best place to start is by typing ‘compensation claim’ into a search engine (www.google.co.uk) Expect advice without obligation or pressure to make a claim, but if either occurs, go elsewhere.
If you decide to go ahead with your claim, your chosen representation should be able to give you all the advice and guidance you need.

Regardless of what industry pundits say, opening a medical practice can be both very rewarding and very lucrative. Of course, as with any business, medical offices have their own specific financial challenges. One of the biggest challenges for medical practices of all sizes is adjusting to the long payment cycles of private insurance providers and Medicare/Medicaid. It is not uncommon for bills to insurance companies to take up to 120 days to pay. This slow payment cycle wreaks havoc in the office’s cash flow, forcing the medical office to carry the costs of doing business – paying rent, equipment leases and office staff – while waiting to get paid. This can be prohibitively expensive and prevent the office from growing and hiring additional staff. At its worst, it can threaten the very existence of the medical practice.However, t

Every successful office manager knows that the office, furniture or equipment is not necessarily the key to prosperity in the workplace, but the people working with them are more important. That is why many office suppliers are now aiming to provide much more than a nicely furnished office space, they also aim to provide the necessary services to accommodate and maintain office space.Many companies now offer full service and affordable solutions for different businesses. In addition, they may provide space for executive offices with stunning views that are suitable for board meetings and client updates. Having an office located in a modern contemporary building with many hotels, restaurants and car rentals agencies in vicinity can turn out to be very convenient for clients, employees and co-workers.Indisputably, the interne

The training world and its dog (and cat) have their own opinion on evaluation and assessment and we seem to hear the same argument time and time again. Usually around ROI and finding things to measure.Like many who got into Training, I done so, because I like helping people (ok, and showing off!!) I love getting up in front of an audience and empowering, inspiring and motivating them. On a one to one level, I love talking through the issue and seeing the lights come on as the person I’m coaching realises what they have to do.I did not (and I suspect many of you feel the same) get into training to do evaluation. Not that it isn’t important, far from it, its essential. But its just that, I suspect, trainers as a breed just don’t want to do it, sitting at a desk trying to find ways to measure training just doesn’t fit in.

Lean manufacturing is a business performance improvement tool that focuses on enhancing value, cost, delivery, and people. It helps expose waste and makes continuous improvement possible by identifying and eliminating non-value-adding activities in design, production, supply chain and management.Organizations that are applying lean technology to their manufacturing processes are achieving the greatest improvements in speed, efficiency, and profitability. Conversely, they all share a common characteristic, and each fully utilizes the knowledge, skills and enthusiasm of people at all levels.While the fundamentals of lean manufacturing are somewhat spontaneous, many of the successful components of a lean toolbox have been developed over years of trial and error. Supplying the right level of training allows your organization to

There are three ways in which a claim can be funded:
1. Public funding (formally known as Legal Aid)
Legal Aid was withdrawn in 1998 for most personal injury claims, the main exception being in clinical and medical negligence cases. A no win, no fee scheme was introduced in its place.
“No win, no fee” means that the person claiming does not have to pay for their solicitor fees in the event that the claim is lost. However, they would still be liable to pay for the other side’s solicitor fees and costs.
Some companies completely protect their customers from all costs and fees, whilst others do not. It is very important to be clear what kind of agreement you are signing up to before instructing a firm to act on your claim.
Another important thing to consider when choosing representation is what they want in the event of a successful claim. Some can take up to 40% of the compensation awarded, whilst others take none.
2. Legal expenses insurance
Legal expenses insurance is often attached to motor insurance policies and household contents insurance, and it covers the costs of legal proceedings in the event of a claim.
For example, if an injury happened through a car accident, legal expenses insurance could be called upon to pay for fees when making a personal injury claim.
3. Private funding
The option is open for people to fund a solicitor to make a personal injury claim for them. However, this is not recommended, because if the claim is unsuccessful, the person making the claim will have to pay not
