All businesses are called businesses because they are in the business of making money. Making money is important for any and every business because their very survival depends on it. Even not for profit organizations have to worry about where they will get the funds to keep their operations active. People need to be paid their salaries, office supplies need to obtained, power and water utility bills need to be taken care of and there are so many other expenses. So, it is very clear that revenue is of paramount importance for every company that is working for survival and profits.
How do companies make revenue? Well the obvious answer is that ever business has some product or service that is sold. The more people get these services and products, the more is revenue. No matter what is the company, product or service, there is one thing that is always common to all the companies in the entire world; the one resource that keeps every machine running, every gear spinning, every ball rolling. That resource is the human resource, the most important resource of all.
Profits And Employee Safety
Many companies make it a point to ensure that they make profits but not at the cost of any sort of disturbance or damage to the employees mentally or physically. However, it is possible to ignore a few basic protocols that can save a lot of money for a company and thereby improve their bottom line. However, in the entire universe all matter is constant. This translates to the basic understanding that when a company compromises on something to increase its profit, it is going to affect the employees negatively.
A case in point is the number of things that companies do to cut costs. There are some things which companies do in order to cut costs like changing the amount spent on annual gifts or vacation pay and things like that. These are things which do not adversely affect an employee and most employees understand when corners are cut in order to survive in a tough economy. Bonuses could be cancelled and pay hikes may be postponed.
Cost Cutting
All of the above is fine, but some companies push the cost cutting too far and start compromising on employee safety itself. It is a well-known fact that ensuring employee safety at work place is an expensive proposition but that is the cost of doing business. Employee health and safety is of paramount importance. It is one of the fixed costs which cannot and do not fluctuate with the economic conditions. In simple words if hundred dollars was the allocated budget for employee safety then it will remain hundred dollars whether the economy is on the rise or is in the middle of a severe recession.
However despite companies being clearly advised not to compromise on employee safety there are times when it does happen. Of course there are some situations wherein these safety hazards end up being created out of sheer accidents that are genuine and happen despite all the trials and errors that are done by a company to maintain safety. These situations are something which cannot be fixed by anybody.
Yet, there are times when companies have ignored a possible safety hazard and turned a blind eye towards it. When safety conscious management is involved, no matter what is the cost these safety hazards would be rectified. However some of these companies would not even bother with it and inevitably employees are the once who end up suffering. Such incidents that result in some injury to the employee at work place are considered as workplace accidents and an employee who has suffered such an injury should hire an accident claims lawyer to get compensation.
Legal Advisor
The right legal advisor, like those at compensation claims Aberdeen, can help an employee get proper compensation for any injury that an employee may have sustained at work place. The compensation claim has to be in direct proportion to any number of reasons that made the workplace accident take place. If there is more than one such incident which resulted in the accident, then that much higher would be the claim against the accident.
There are situations where an injury occurred because proper training was not provided to the employee in order to use particular equipment. In such situations an accident claims lawyer can help an employee argue in the court that the company did not provide the necessary training and that was the primary reason for the employee suffering injury. Obviously, all companies know that training an employee is an expensive proposition. Some companies will take the low road and decide to give improper or no training and simply ask the employee to work.
If such a thing is indeed true, then that is a true case of employer negligence about safety towards the employee and the company has to compensate for any loss that the employee has suffered. Such claims can be effectively assisted for by a good claims lawyer.
