Health & safety is the biggest challenge facing SMEs as they emerge from lockdown
May 14th 2020Earlier this week, we shared a UK200 Group poll, to better understand the biggest challenges facing SMEs as they return to work from lockdown. If you participated in the poll, thank you.
The poll has highlighted that health and safety ranked as the top concern for businesses emerging from lockdown. Cashflow comes second and client confidence third.
This indicates that it is the uncertainty of reopening a business, with all the related complexities that it entails, that businesses are worried about now. They are confident about how to get their basic operations back up and running, but need clarity about how they should be protecting employees and customers, and getting customers to buy from them.
The poll results are helping us to look at the different ways that we can help our clients. We will be developing more content and tools to support you on the issues highlighted in the coming weeks and months.
