People are one of the most important parts of your business.  This includes you and your employees, your customers and suppliers as well as the local community in which you work.  This section will look at how you take on employees, the implications of this on your business and the value of training.  It will signpost you towards training for both you and your employees.

With your customers in mind, if publishing information online, do you know the answer to these questions:

How do you ensure that people value your business, that they will want to trade with you or come to work for you?  The Small Business Journey website provides a toolkit for small businesses on the issues behind responsible business practice.
