Top 10 Key Interviewing Tip
1. PLAN - Don’t rush into the interview. Make sure you have thought of questions you want to ask and what you need to know. But be flexible; be able to follow where the interviewee leads if it seems likely to yield information.
2. SET GROUND RULES - Make sure that the interviewee is told how you intend to conduct the interview, what you are seeking to do together (solve a problem). Make your goal clear - to discover all the facts. Seek to create a productive atmosphere.
3. PUT THE INTERVIEWEE AT EASE - There is nothing to be gained at all by coming across as threatening or authoritarian. You need the person’s cooperation. Do everything you can to alleviate anxiety (e.g. choose your interview location carefully).

Skyguard's Incident Management Centre
All of Skyguard’s state-of-the-art personal safety devices link to our own purpose built UK based, 24/7 Incident Management Centre certified to the highest lone working industry standards (BS 8484, BS 5979 Category II). At the core of Skyguard’s personal safety service is our state-of-the-art, UK based, 24/7 Incident Management Centre (IMC). Here our highly-trained and experienced controllers respond to lone worker alarms and manage life-threatening emergencies on a daily basis. They summon the emergency services and our own National Response Service every day on behalf of our customers. Yet only a fraction of these have proved to be false alarms due to their rigorous training and the procedures they follow.
On behalf of our police customers alone, our IMC has protected an estimated 6,000 victims of domestic abuse, kidnapping and those on witness protection programmes. Many of these have led to arrests and successful prosecutions in court, facilitated by our audio recordings of incidents and the speed of police response that our service provided.
Our IMC became the first in the UK to be certified to the new Lone Worker Monitoring Service standard: BS 8484, which included the highest standard for Alarm Receiving Centres: BS 5979 (Category II).

The FM as a data scientist
Our white paper, ‘The FM as a data scientist’ explores lessons already learned from data-rich industries such as healthcare and retail, and shows how you should and can lead in the digital transformation of your organisation.
Much of the industry has yet to use big data to improve business performance, yet better insight into user behaviours and asset performance could revolutionise how buildings and services are managed.
While using big data presents challenges (not least in protecting the privacy and security of the people within an organisation) as an FM you’re already well-versed in a range of regulatory and compliance issues, putting you in an ideal position to oversee and manage data within your organisation.

Aero Healthcare - Ultimate Guide to First Aid in the Workplace
All workplaces, including the self-employed, are expected to meet the HSE's regulations to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure immediate aid if an employee gets injured or takes ill.
Every day across the country, first aiders are responding to accidents and injuries in the workplace. Some are responding to minor cuts and wounds, others are dealing with major burns and cardiac arrests.
Some workplaces are higher risk than others; foundries are more hazardous places than offices, it's a given, however, no workplace is ever truly free from hazards, risks or illnesses. Regardless of regulation, it's crucial for workplaces to be well stocked with important first aid and life-saving equipment, and have fully trained staff ready to handle any situation.
Assess your first aid protocols before they're needed.
