✓ Employment Relations and Health & Safety Consultancy
We at Quest understand the important interrelationship between Employment Relations (“ER”), and your staff health and safety. Both visible part of your business, its team, directly employed and deeply involved.
Collectively, we develop an intimate understanding of the business, its personalities, and issues. We can help you set policies and advise on strategic issues at all levels.
In addition to providing advice and guidance for companies who prefer not to set up an in-house safety department, we are often called in to advise and support safety concerns and or issues. We can and often do spot the solutions that others are often too close to see. Set apart from the corporate machine and not interested in company politics, our only agenda is to provide a service that will keep the business, its clients and employees safe, efficient, and within the law.
Quest seeks to become our client’s policy-maker, sitting on their health and safety committee, and or driving policy from the ground upwards. Given our broad-based experience, and with that experience, we have the opportunity of taking an overview role by distilling reports from many locations, to isolating key issues and making recommendations to fix them.
We wish to and often do establish an outstanding professional relationship with our clients. To that end, we find that our best relationships are with companies that have existing in-house skills but need outside help to provide either the logistics and national reach, or the oversight of the ER and safety management system.
As ‘outsiders,’ we at Quest can and do see how other ER and health and safety departments work and how they differ; dealing with different cultures and people all the time helps us develop these skills very quickly. It is the difference between working on one management committee and working on ten. We work with other client’s and can transfer the lessons learned from one to the other, and get an excellent idea of what is best practice and not just what looks like it.
A typical working week may involve some inspections and site visits, a day of writing policies and reports, maybe an accident investigation to do, or a training course or induction to run. Even different premises within the same company will differ greatly, and we maintain a grip on these factors.
