WORCESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND, January 30, 2011 (Press-News.org) The innovative diversity forum, 360 diversity, has been instrumental in helping the Core Assets Group gain a place within the Stonewall Top 100 Employers List 2011. This annual guide is now in its seventh year and recognises the efforts of pioneering companies to provide a positive workplace where lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) can reach their potential.
360 diversity is a tool to enable companies to put all of their equality and diversity resources in one place. This can include: staff network groups, policies, news, information, case studies.
The Core Assets Group use 360 Diversity to engage and support their staff. Since Core Assets started to use 360 diversity, they have achieved an engagement of over 80% of staff using the site discussion forums, reading diversity news and finding out about events and other resources.
Stuart Bray, Business development Manager of 360 diversity, commented "I am very proud that 360 Diversity has been able to support Core Assets to achieve 60th place on this prestigious list. Diversity is at the heart of what they do, and having a coordinated online forum has given them the opportunity to focus on the important issues."
Last year saw the introduction of the Equality Act 2010 which has prompted organisations to assess their approach to diversity. 360 diversity is a tool that can be used to demonstrate a company's commitment to diversity and help comply with equality and diversity legislation.
Stuart Bray added, "This is the second accolade that the Core Assets Group has achieved since implementing 360 diversity in 2010, and we are very pleased to have been able to give them such remarkable results so fast."

Leading U.S. Canopy Company Increases Outdoor Canopy Production for 2011 Hurricane Season
2011-01-30
A study by Colorado State University is predicting an above average hurricane season for 2011. In the wake of this information, the leading U.S canopy supplier is increasing their canopy production by twenty percent. The canopies are used as emergency shelter in the aftermath of the storms.
When natural disasters occur, and unfortunately they seem to occur far too often, one of the first things needed on those sites is some sort of weather protection. For first responders, as well as for those they are trying to help, there needs to be areas that are relatively free ...
Boilerplate Waivers No Longer Enough to Keep Ski Resorts Safe From Injury Claims?
2011-01-30
Like others around the country, some Colorado ski resorts are on the defensive before this year's winter sports season gets underway. There have been a spate of lawsuits against ski resorts in recent years by patrons who were injured on the slopes while skiing, snowboarding or snowmobiling in spite of the fact that boilerplate waivers appear on the back of nearly every single ski lift pass printed in the country.
The resorts argue that these fine-print waivers protect them from liability, but some courts have seen things differently. Several noteworthy personal injury ...
Sleep Deprivation and Patient Safety
2011-01-30
According to the Society of Actuaries, medical mistakes cost the U.S. economy over $19.5 billion in 2008. During that year, the report estimates that medical mistakes caused over 1.5 million injuries, resulting in 2,500 estimated deaths. Though the causes for mistakes vary, doctor fatigue has often been cited as a major factor in medical errors.
In a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), the authors cite studies which show an increased risk of complications for patients who undergo elective procedures performed by a sleep-deprived doctor. ...
Finding the Right Type of Consumer Bankruptcy for You
2011-01-30
In 2010, more than 1.5 million Americans filed for bankruptcy protection- a 9% increase over the previous year and the highest rate of filings since the new bankruptcy laws went into effect in 2005.

For example, in Rhode Island more than 4,100 people filed for consumer bankruptcy protection last year and Massachusetts added another 17,700 filers.
High rates of ...
Preserving the Principles of Fair Trial in a 24/7 Video World
2011-01-30
Aldous Huxley spoke of a "brave new world," Marshall McLuhan said "the medium is the message," and Orwell of course warned of Big Brother. For all their insights, however, none of these twentieth-century thinkers -- not even Orwell -- remotely anticipated the advent of the 24/7 video technology that permeates our culture today. We are awash in images that, without the proper safeguards, threaten to undermine long-held principles at the foundation of the criminal justice system.

IRS Commissioner Warns of Additional Offshore-Account Investigations
2011-01-30
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner, Doug Shulman, said the IRS is further targeting offshore accounts.

Targeting Offshore Accounts
Following the IRS's investigation of Swiss banking giant UBS, Shulman reported that the agency will continue to fight tax evasion by addressing instances of offshore tax evasion and "leveraging the data we receive to mount ...
Governor Rendell Vetoes Popular Firefighter Bill
2011-01-30
On November 27, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell put an end to the hopes of firefighters across the state when he vetoed HB 1231, a bill that would have expanded the types of cancer considered occupational diseases for firefighters under the state's workers' compensation programs. The Governor's veto was made despite the popularity of the bill - it passed through the House unanimously and through the Senate just as overwhelmingly with a 45-4 vote.
The potentially high costs to the municipalities paying for workers' compensation coverage for professional and volunteer firefighters ...
Utah Statewide Spice Ban Expected to Pass 2011 Legislative Session
2011-01-30
The Utah state legislative session will soon commence for the 2011 session. One of the items on the agenda -- addressing a statewide ban on spice.
The bill, sponsored by Representative Gage Froere (R-Hundsville), plans to limit the manufacture, distribution and possession of the increasingly popular herbal substance known as spice.
Made of dried weeds and flowers and marketed for use as incense, the public started taking note when teens began smoking the herbal blend. Some say the need for regulation is vital because of the dangers associated with smoking spice. Because ...
