With our membership supporting over 60,000 employees in Dorset, it’s crucial that our offering reflects this, and so this year has seen a number of different benefits introduced, including the launch of two benefits purely designed for the employees of Member companies:
Chamber Online Health & Safety Training
Member companies can rest assured that their staff are compliant with requirements of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 through this cost-effective and easy to use online training tool. Courses covered include general H&S subjects, plus industry specific courses.
Chamber Health Affinity Programme
With rising levels of sickness in the workplace and absenteeism, this is a topic high on business owner’s agendas. In association with Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital, Chamber Health Affinity Programme allows managers and staff of Dorset Chamber Member companies to take advantage of benefits including discounts on diagnostics tests and hospital fees for in-patient procedures, access and discount for Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital’s Private GP Service, health screening and wellness tests, plus free health specific clinics and Education Events.
Not only can we offer all these benefits through our standard membership, but we can also offer enhanced benefits through our Patron membership.
Recognising that every business has an individual set of requirements, we launched two new tiers of Patronage this year, expanding our offer to Bronze, Silver and Gold packages.
