A top issue in workplaces – one that is all too often a lightning rod for frustration and miscommunication – are continuous attempts to make a respectful workplace a reality, according to AIM WA Chief Operating Officer Shaun Ridley FAIM.

I recently shared my thoughs on why culture is more than just creating a lengthy workplace policy.

Defining a respectful workplace and how to make it a reality. The difference between conflict and bullying. These and other aspects discussed on AIM WA's Workplace Conversations That Matter.

Do you know what to look for when you review a contract?

You're not going to want to pay a lawyer or a contract specialist to review every single contract that passes through your business. Sometimes they're short, or they're straightforward, or the project fee is low and doesn't justify a legal spend.

Do you want to know the 10 clauses that I focus on when I review construction, engineering and consulting contracts?

I've come up with a checklist that lays it all out for my mailing list subscribers.

You can find the link to it here: https://lnkd.in/gEYvMRN

I'd love to hear what you think... what's your number one contract hot button?

"As a startup & a female entrepreneur, it is critical to ensure every step of your way to build your business is legitimate and sound; it is also important to have a knowledgeable legal profession, who understands your challenges and potential risk, to guide you and recommend you to the right direction and beyond.
I’m really appreciated Gemma’s approach and guidance and am looking forward to working with Gemma along the way with my business journey.

Hence, I strongly recommend people running their own coaching or consulting business working with Gemma."

Has a client ever unexpectedly deducted money from your payments? There might have been a set-off clause in your contract.

So what IS a set-off clause? What can you do to reduce the risks it might cause for your business?

I recently shared what it is and the important details you need to know with Business Foundations

Read the article here -

A set-off clause is an optional clause in an employment contract. We chatted to Gemma Nugent from Sound Legal about a set-off clause and important details you need to know.

When you think about intellectual property, you probably think it doesn’t apply to small business. It’s easy to think that intellectual property is something that only applies to large businesses. Well, that’s not the case.

I chatted with Business Foundations about Intellectual Property highlighting important key questions and answers small business owners need to be aware off.

https://businessfoundations.com.au/intellectual-property-for-small-businesses-key-questions-answered/

Intellectual Property (IP) can present a number of issues for small business owners, especially if you don't know what to look out for. Gemma Nugent addresses some commonly asked questions about IP’s in small business.
