Transparency and well governed
To ensure business operations are fair, transparent, robust, safe and well governed, many companies have to meet stringent regulatory requirements. The role of compliance for companies differ from industry to industry. Some of the more popular standards that govern certain industries are ISO, ICAEW, SRA, FCA, Data Protection Act, Health & Safety Act, OFSTEAD, CQC, OFCOM and many more.
Those involved with ensuring their organisation adheres strictly to regulation will benefit from Compliance and Regulatory courses. It is also important that all employees are aware of their regulatory responsibilities and training will ensure they receive the required level of education in this respect.

Compliance and Regulatory Risk
A key concern for organisations relates to the risks associated with non-compliance. This could be an unintended result of just not being aware of the regulations applicable to the environment they are operating in and sometimes something more sinister. Penalties could be severe, but what may be more damaging, is the perception of bad or illegal practises.
Laws and regulations are continuously being introduced or changing and it is essential to keep abreast of these developments. Imagine a large multi-national firm operating across numerous borders. Keeping in line with all the regulatory requirements, which differ from place to place, is something that will receive significant focus because falling short here, could have devastating results.
It is essential that all companies have robust Compliance and Regulatory strategies and systems in place to ensure all conditions of operations are adhered to. Compliance and Regulatory courses enable individuals to effectively craft these strategies and systems and also to ensure that the rules of the game for their industry is understood and followed.

What our clients say
Optimal People and Business are experts in all things HR. We worked successfully with them to produce a series of information videos to help businesses during the Corona lockdown. We are looking forward to working with them again in the near future as we grow our business.
We personally dealt with Vici at Optimal and she was a delight. She was open and honest and gave great advice and guidance. She helped us deal with what could have been a very difficult dismissal with a problematic member of staff. I would not hesitate to recommend Vici to any business for their HR.
Can’t thank Mel and the team enough. Really helped my business in a crisis. Looking forward to working with you and the team.

5* all round, Mel was extremely helpful and answered all my questions, very friendly and professional. Recommended to others and would definitely use again. Thank you again Mel and Helen.
Mel and her team are fantastic, help me all along the way with some complex issues. Couldn't recommend more.
I've used Optimal PBS on a couple of occasions now to assist with due diligence on an acquisition i've been working on and also to provide contract and handbook production. Cannot fault the support or advice provided.
We love this company and Mel is a god send to our business, she sorted everything for us from employee contracts to helping us source the right accountant, she is at the end of the phone whenever I have any HR questions (even when on holiday) can not fault her commitment. Keep up the good work!
