DAB Valves, Derby

CIM is proud to announce that, for the 4th year in a row, we completed an Audit process for one of our clients Dab Valves of DERBY.

The Integrated Management system we built for the business was audited by SGS Baseffa Ltd against BS EN ISO/IEC 89979-34 standard (application of quality systems for equipment Manufacture) and The Atex directive.

This is a major win for the Dab valves business as it allows them to continue to manufacture and assign Atex rating on their product.

Congratulations to DAB!

CIM – Me & Dee Update

CIM – Me & Dee Update

 

Me & Dee update

As you may recall Me & Dee is our chosen charity for 2020 and we were recently contacted by the charity with some good news!

Me and Dee raise money to provide families with respite care in caravans or lodges giving them a chance to spend time together building precious memories. We were very proud to receive the below letter from them:

“We’re absolutely delighted to inform you that, with your help, we’ve been able to complete the purchase of the lodge and are now the proud owners of ‘me&dee’s hideaway’, 3 The Birches, Sherwood Hideaway. The target of £150,000 was a massive amount for us when we launched our 20/20 vision back in June 2019 but, with the help of companies and individuals alike, we got there. It was very emotional when two large donations pushed us over the line, something we never thought would happen during lockdown.

Thank you so much for your support in making our dream come true to own ‘our forever home’, a peaceful place in the forest for our families to make their memories together.”

CIM also featured on Me & Dee’s own newsletter last month and would like to take this opportunity to thank our clients, colleagues, friends, and family that have also supported this very worthy cause, which is incredibly close to our hearts. We would also like to congratulate Me & Dee on their beautiful new forever home, which will benefit many families for years to come.

A Clean Start For The New Year?

A Clean Start For The New Year?

cleaning training

 

Are you looking for a clean start in 2020?

Back in December 2017, Maxine Grant from Melanin Sunshine got in touch regarding our Cleaning Training course in Loughborough, Leicestershire and successfully completed the course. Maxine was initially a little hesitant, having not been in a classroom environment since school days, but was an enthusiastic learner and felt comfortable throughout the course. We love hearing from our clients regarding how their businesses have progressed since we met, this is what Maxine has to say:

“When it comes to a personal touch and value for your business I recommend CIM associates, Ian did not present a boring training course, from my personal experience it helped my business to grow. What I loved about this training was the atmosphere Ian and Clare created, it didn’t matter if you were a sole trader working by yourself (which I was at the time) or if you work for a big company in a senior position. There was another person there who was getting ready to manage a massive company oversees, I did not feel that person was more important, big or small the training and how it was taught is very, very effective. I have implemented that approach dealing with my own clients: value and having that personal touch, I did this training 2 years ago and the experience and training I had, left a lasting impact.”

Maxine’s company Melanin Shinshine goes from strength and we couldn’t be happier for her.

CIM are offering CIM Cleaning Technology Training courses at our training centre in Loughborough, Leicestershire.

Why Me & Dee is our chosen charity for 2020

Why Me & Dee is our chosen charity for 2020

As a family in the 1960s our holidays were spent at my Aunt and Uncles’ static caravan on Hayling Island. Myself and two sisters have very happy memories of these times, meeting our friends on the beach, spending our pocket money on the slot machines we named ‘Dodge City’ and having family BBQs.

In 2008 my husband and I bought our own static caravan there, only this one came with an en-suite, fitted kitchen and heating (pure luxury). To me it was and always will be my happy place.

In March 2010 my elder sister was diagnosed with a brain tumour, in between treatments her and her family joined us for a holiday in August that year, we knew it would be our last time together as sisters in a caravan on Hayling (despite both being in our fifties) but it was a place which held so many happy memories for us and a place she wanted to see one last time.

Just 7 weeks later she lost her fight for life.

Me and Dee are raising money to provide families with respite care in caravans or lodges, very similar to what we did. Giving my sister and I a chance to spend time together building memories. These memories will never leave me and I know how precious time is with someone you know you will soon be parted from. My lasting memory of that time, is her being wheeled in her wheel chair to the sea front, with me cycling along beside ‘my Big Sis’. Different modes of transport from years before, but still together in our ‘Happy Place’.

Take a look at their website if you’d like to support the charity, or think Me & Dee could help you or someone you know.

George is off to the Army

George has been working with our Facilities Management team for the last few months but he’s now off to join the army as an aircraft technician. George will be missed by us all but we wish him all the very best for his amazing future.

Here’s what George thinks about his time with our company 🙂

‘During my time a CIM Associates UK Ltd, I have received an amazing standard of training and have learnt many new transferable skills which I can apply to a variety of working environments. This includes building upon time management skills, maintaining a high work ethic and organisational techniques. These accomplishments have consequently allowed me to ensure a high quality of work when on site. The team I worked with daily were always there to guide me whenever I was unsure of the task.

‘Furthering my career I will be joining the army working as an aircraft technician, here I intend to maintain the same standard of work ethic and organisational skills that I have gained working for CIM Associates.’

Managing Director, Ian Meredith said ‘George has been a great addition to our team at CIM Associates Facilities Management and we are going to miss him immensely. He’s got a great work ethic and will be an absolute credit to the army and with his attitude and maturity he’s got a very bright future ahead of him.’

Are your sickness levels spiralling out of control?

Are your sickness levels spiralling out of control?

Health and Safety Training

 

Three tips to manage sickness absence

Sickness levels can have a very damaging effect on your business, and it is essential that they are managed correctly. Potentially it can be very costly in terms of loss of long-term and high revenue customers as a result of not meeting your commitments.  It can also have a ‘knock on’ effect on the morale and motivation of the remaining members of your workforce in having the added pressure of taking on the additional workload of absent colleagues.   By applying some fundamental principles you can get your absence levels under control and reduce the risk to your business performance.

Tip 1: Ensure that your organisation has a formal absence policy which is clearly communicated and understood by all employees and is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect the latest changes in employment legislation.  Without having a clear absence policy in place, any absence is unlikely to be recorded accurately and consistently, making it difficult to identify long-term, persistent short-term or complicated absence cases.

Tip 2: Use industry standard tools, such as the Bradford Factors, to help you to determine whether the short-term absence of your employees is becoming a problem.

Tip 3: Ensure that Return to Work interviews are conducted after each absence.  A key advantage of conducting return to work interviews on a regular and consistent basis is that they give managers an opportunity to identify the possible underlying cause(s) of frequent absences at an early stage.

Don’t forget that you have access to all of these resources in HR Pulse.

HR Pulse will provide you with:
• accurate absence records
• triggers using the Bradford Factors to give you an early indication as to where absence levels are potentially a problem
• an absence report so that you can monitor absence on an ongoing basis
• legally compliant and intuitive people management tools which will signpost for you how to manage your employee’s absence effectively
• legally compliant and robust documents which support the absence management process.
We are also looking for referral partners where you can earn a share of our monthly subscriptions of clients you introduce to HR Pulse for the duration that they are a paying client.
