Chambers Ireland European Economic Survey 2018
Chambers Ireland, in conjunction with Eurochambres, has launched the European Economic Survey for 2018. This is the 25th edition of this annual Eurochambres assessment of the European business community’s expectations for the year ahead. The target audience of this survey is businesses and chamber members all around the country.
The results of this survey will be used to help us to identify the main challenges for business in the coming year. This survey should take no more than 3-5 minutes to complete and the deadline for completion is the 29th September 2017. Questions marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZD5GN5G
2. Safetech – First Aid Training
Chamber Member Safetech let us know that from the 1st of September there will be a new accrediting body for first aid – PHECC. If you are considering sending employees on first aid training there are considerable savings to be made by doing so before 1st September. Likewise, if your employees are due to refresh their first aid training before the end of 2017, it may be worthwhile considering refreshing early on a one day refresher course rather than having to do a two day refresher course at an extra cost.
For a full list of these, please visit http://www.safetech.ie/sp/courses/schedule
