Help build the digital workforce powering South Yorkshire’s future.

SUMMARY:Unmasking the Truth….. about the Performance of Your Business
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is delivered in an interesting and digestible manner to give all Managing Director’s a deep insight into performance indicators\, helping you better understand where is best to invest your time and money and make better financial decisions! \nBook now and you will gain an in-depth understanding of your business performance with this powerful\, no-nonsense workshop delivered by Tracy Lewis. \nat the end of this workshop\, you will be able to: \n– review the performance of your company \n– see which activities bring a profit\, and those that bring a loss \n– see where your hard work is paying off. \n– learn where to better invest your time and money \n– make better financial decisions \n  \nMember Intro Price – £347 (usually £497) \nLocation: The Barnsley College Business Centre \nBook Now: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/unmasking-the-truth-about-the-performance-of-your-business-tickets-617708230947 \n  \nClient Testimonial \n“This week\, I attended Tracy’s full day course about how to review the performance of my business and my mind is still buzzing with all the practical (and no-nonsense) information she taught us. \nAs a Managing Director\, I hadn’t been taught these vital skills to ensure the longevity and growth of my business\, and now I feel I’m armed with tools (and confidence) that will make such a difference. \nThe sessions throughout the day were just the right pace\, we could stop and ask questions to clarify things\, or start a deeper discussion at every stage. \nExample financial data was used for activities\, which aided the theory to turn into practice. That also meant there wasn’t any confidential data shared about business turnover or profit in the room of delegates. \nI would recommend this course to all new Managing Directors and even those who have been in post for years\, but I think it’s always good to brush up on finance skills.”

SUMMARY:Cooperative Owned Businesses Focus Group
DESCRIPTION:There are many ownership models to choose from when it comes to operating your business\, each of which has its own benefits. \nFor instance\, an Employee-Owned Business gives all colleagues a financial stake in an enterprise\, as well as a say in how it runs. A tax-efficient model\, this can be great for rewarding staff and incentivising them to go above and beyond for the sake of the wider team. \nMeanwhile\, a Worker Cooperative model is well-suited to start ups\, as these businesses are more likely to succeed in the long run. Not to mention\, they are also highly regarded by potential customers. \nThere are many nuances that you will have to consider and different ownership models will naturally work better for different businesses. To help you get to grips with all these complex ideas\, the Chamber will be running this informative event. \nSplit into a pair of hour-long workshops (broken up by an hour-long networking session and free lunch)\, this is your opportunity to find out more about Employee-Owned Businesses and Worker Cooperatives. At these focus groups\, you’ll have a chance to ask any burning questions you might have\, understand the benefits of each approach\, get your voices heard\, and to ultimately see which is right for you. \nNot to mention\, your invaluable feedback here will also be used to shape the messaging for the Ownership Hub going forward. This is a project that has been designed to help raise awareness of the different ownership models available to businesses. \nWhether you are just getting your business off the ground\, or are thinking about what will happen to it once you retire\, this is a very important decision to make. For this reason\, we strongly encourage our members to come along to the workshop event\, so that they can make informed decisions and safeguard their futures. \n12noon – 1pm Lunch & Networking \n1pm – 2pm Focus Group

The Ownership Hub is a joint project between Co-operatives UK and the Employee Ownership Association\, supporting the #1MillionOwners campaign which aims to grow employee and worker ownership in the UK. \nSouth Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) are delighted to become the first regional partner\, encouraging and supporting employee and worker ownership in your region. Working with Co-operatives UK and the Employee Ownership Association SYMCA are helping to raise awareness\, develop training\, deliver advice and expertise to create resilient and inclusive businesses that give employees a stake and a say. \nCo-owned companies succeed because they are likely to be more productive\, inclusive\, profitable and sustainable. Here’s why: \n  \n\nStaff’s leadership skills and interest in the companies ambitions increase when they become shared owners\nStaff retention and productivity is higher in employee-owned businesses because of the personal investment of the individuals\nInnovation thrives because managers are encouraged to listen to employee’s ideas and are more likely to share information\nThere is a strong sense of corporate social responsibility due to the open way in which the business is ran\nIndependent research suggests that a combination of shared ownership and employee participation delivers superior business performance\n\n  \n11am – 12noon – Focus Group \n12noon – 1pm – Lunch and Networking
