Standards and Certification – How to Stand Out

Everyone who has a service, or product, to sell wants to be able to stand out.  

Your little piece of magic could well come in the form of an accreditation, or certification. However, often people think that these are difficult and onerous to attain, but this is not always the case.

The importance of a certification

A certification is an accredited third-party evaluation process that ensures that an organisation meets certain standards giving customers peace of mind when it comes to quality and compliance. Having a certification will give your business a competitive advantage.

Also, by being a company that takes using accredited auditors seriously, you are gaining an advantage over your competitors when it comes to being more attractive for the job market. Better candidates are likely to be attracted to your company.

What certification should your business attain?

This is the crux of the matter, you have to find a qualification, or certification, that matches your business strategy and goals. Some are easy to achieve, whilst some a little more challenging.

Some are industry specific (like British Standards, or SSIP’s) and some are over-arching in their nature (like the ISO’s), but they will all add to your credibility.

For many, an ISO certification is not the right thing to do first. One of the reasons why is the amount of time that needs to be invested to gain, and maintain, that certification. It is a long-term investment that needs constant nurturing and change.

My business consultancy services for standards and certification will help you decide what your business should be investing in. I will empower you to foster excellence and ensure safety and best practices are paramount to your organisation. I can assist with standards development, training and certification.

Businesses that I have helped gain recognition

Over the years I have helped a number of businesses, in a range of sectors, achieve accreditations and certifications, these include:

1 Having a real opportunity to attain more meaningful contracts for the business.

2 Attracting staff that want to work in an encouraging and focussed environment.

3 Realising that gaining certifications has meant they have become more trusted.

4 Providing a structured platform from which the business can develop even further.

5 Being able to efficiently manage change and understand the beneficial impact of the work required.

A trusted partner by your side

Knowing where to start and how to work through these qualifications, standards, accreditations and certification can be really daunting, especially if you have not done this before. But stop worrying, help is at hand. I thrive, and relish, helping companies work through these processes.

We appreciate that being looked at and scrutinised is uncomfortable. I know that making changes can be hard. Breaking habits takes time. But failing to make the best opportunity for your organisation is definitely something you don’t want to regret.
