Hawkins & Associates - Investigation of Electric Shock Injuries
In our every day lives we interact with electrical equipment frequently, often without thinking about it. With good product and system design, construction, use and maintenance, the electrical systems and equipment we use do not present a hazard. But when those principles go wrong, they can result in electric shocks. The resulting effects can vary widely, from an ‘unpleasant tingle’, through life-changing burn injuries, to fatal shock (electrocution).

Cardiff Summer Roadshow
How well are your clients able to articulate their financial goals? When did you last go back to basics and consider how protection features in your clients’ plans?

Online Event: Sustainable Compassion: how to effectively support clients without impacting your own mental health
In insurance and financial services, we are so often called upon to demonstrate high levels of compassion in a whole range of different scenarios. If not dealt with properly, this can lead to fatigue that is bad for our mental and physical health and which in turn begins to significantly impact our performance and at worst lead to burnout. In this webinar, we will examine how compassion fatigue can manifest itself and then learn a strategy to ensure that we and our colleagues do not become a victim to this silent, but very serious, risk to our health.
