Sustaining Progress: Statements.

 

We must ask what has happened and whether it will be sustained. I spoke to the general manager of a multinational company recently and he asked me whether I knew what was killing the company. I said I was aware there were difficulties related to wage costs and competitiveness but he said it was the cost of logistics, including rent, insurance and insurance claims. Many people are bringing claims against companies that have adopted good health and safety practices. I am worried that false claims under the employer's liability scheme have not been eliminated.
