If they don’t, then your company can seriously get held back. Authorities come around and check offices and other business premises to ensure they’re in the right shape. You must provide safe working conditions for you and your employees. Even if there have been no accidents, you can…

Contributed Post Image from Pixabay As a small business owner, you have likely dreamed of the necessity of hiring your first employee. It’s the point at which your business is making inroads.

Contributed Post The US has just elected someone who is open about denying climate change. For some people, this undoubtedly a good thing. However, for those who choose to accept the science on the matter, it could well be a disaster. Trump has claimed in the past, via Twitter, that climate change is a hoax invented by China. He has also said that he will walk back on the Paris Agreement, which over 190 countries have signed up to as a promise to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So what happens when President-elect Donald Trump becomes President Donald Trump? Will climate policy for the US go out the window? Can Trump Reverse Current Policy? The first thing to consider is what Donald Trump has the power…
