Guide to improved efficiency

The Forum of Private Business is calling on its members to turn over a new leaf and reap the benefits of a more efficient workplace - and one of the organisation’s guides could help SMEs achieve this goal.

Cost, Controls and Profit - The Complete Business Checklist is an easy-to-use guide that is intended as a source of reference to be used whenever there is a need to handle change or review or amend an existing situation.

National Chairman of the FPB, Len Collinson, said making time to think about the ‘big picture’ is difficult, but ultimately rewarding.

“There are many daily distractions, from the necessities of the workplace to unwelcome Government red tape,” he says. “However, time spent looking at the longer term can be more beneficial. Owners of small businesses should look for help when creating new appointments or reviewing problems, and that is where FPB can help.

“Checklists, by their very nature, are about what to do and not how to do it. Their aim is to remind and provide a controlled process for decision making.”

FPB members can order a copy of The Complete Business Checklist at the member-discounted price of £95. Non-members can purchase the publication for £155. For more information call 0845 130 1722.
