Employment law and risk management consultancy

The Safety Group Ltd – a North West health, safety, employment law and risk management consultancy – has tapped into Government funding to provide businesses in the region with up to £3000 each to support leadership and development programmes for senior level employees.

The grant, available via the Learning and Skills Council and the North West Development Agency, has been introduced to support relevant and challenging learning and development activities for leaders, senior managers or key decision makers in companies across the North West.

Utilising the grant, local business leaders can benefit from The Safety Group’s practical Risk Management programme, which has been designed to increase the awareness and knowledge of the legal obligations of senior personnel within business in relation to people management and risk reduction strategies.

Adding a Business

Not posted for some time now. So I’ll just keep you all up-to-date of a small feature we’ve added. A lot of people have been asking us to add missing businesses so they can review them. Its an absolutely massive job to keep the whole business database bang up-to-date. (Almost 2 million businesses)

So there will be plenty of businesses missing from our database. We do try our hardest to keep on track of this. So to help us out we’ve added “Add a business” function. At the minute its at the bottom of every search results page. We will be adding it to no-results and other pages within the next few days. I’ve created a demo video of me adding a business. See below.

Friends Feed

We’ve been super busy at GoMy towers this week. We are pleased to announce the release of a new feature “Friends Feed”. Some of you may have already noticed this in your user section. We thought it would be a nice feature so you can keep track of your friends and what they have been doing on GoMy.

So if a friend writes a new review (or various other things) you will be notified instantly on your Friends Feed. We will also be sending out a daily email at the start of each day informing you of the previous days friends activity. Sometime in the next few weeks we will also be releasing email notifications so you can turn these emails off (if you like).

So now what?

1 question that seems to be hitting us a lot from users of the site.
I’ve signed up for a user account and logged in. Now what do i do?

Well i guess we’re not making things very clear. So in the next few days we will be adding a welcome note to users login section. The note (in the form of a popup) will appear when you login (see image below). We will also be including a tick box so you don’t have to keep seeing the message. We’re hoping this will help users in finding the correct path, once they’ve signed up.

Chit Chat is coming

As I mentioned on my previous blog a few days back, I would let you all know some of the things we have in the pipeline regarding new features coming to the site. These are for both business owners and users.

First off we’ve been busy putting together our “Chit Chat” section. This will be a cross between a Twitter feed and the Wall section on Facebook, for those familiar. For those of you not familiar it’s basically a section where you can inform your friends on GoMy what your up-to or you can post on your friends Chit Chat and have a less formal kind of conversation. i.e. what you up to over the weekend, that kind of thing. I’ve added a sneaky picture at the bottom so you can have a look what its like.

So we have finally arrived

After months and months of some serious hard work the site is ready to fire out into beta mode. Yes we know its not 100% just yet. But we hope you’ll persevere with us over the next coming months, until we get into a full live version. I already have a list as long as my arm of features to improve and also new features to work on (this seems to be growing by the day). So I’ll be keeping everyone in the loop about what we have planned in the distant and not too distant future. Some of the main things we will be improving shortly will be:

  • Site performance. Speed Speed Speed. We know things are not lightning quick, but don’t worry it will be soon enough.
  • The search results. We’ve still got tweek’s to do on the results, to deliver better and more relevant searches. This will always be ongoing.
  • Mapping function. Same again something we will always be working on.
