Corporate Membership

Corporate Categories

ISMA^UK has two corporate categories, both of which are based on the business or organisations annual turnover.  

• Band A – for those with an annual turnover up to £250K &   
• Band B – for those with an annual turnover over £250K

Additional Membership Information

Our corporate membership has a non-voting status and also does not confer any professional qualification.

However,  you or your colleagues, may be eligible to join individually as Associate Members or have the option of joining as Professional Members if the ISMA^UK Membership Guidelines are fulfilled. This would then provide the relevant membership benefits, certificate and logo to use in either your, or their own name.

Three Joining Criteria

1. Any business or organisation that agrees to comply with the ISMA^UK Charter
Our charter promotes wellbeing, particularly psychological wellbeing, which enables effective performance at work no matter the size of the organisation or business, improving performance which in turn will reduce absenteeism and importantly, also presenteeism

2. A current Health and Safety Policy is in place
This is a legal requirement if you employ five or more people and it needs to set out your general approach to health and safety
If you have five or more employees, you must write your H&S policy down. If you have fewer than five employees you do not have to write anything down, but it is useful to do so. Stress is considered a hazard (HSE)

3. Your business or organisation understands and applies the requirements for a stress risk assessment   
Employers have a legal duty to protect their employees from stress at work by doing a risk assessment and acting on it. Stress is considered a hazard (HSE).
If you have fewer than five employees, you don’t have to write anything down however it is considered useful to do so. If you have five or more employees, you are required by law to write your risk assessment down
Please contact Claire at membership@isma.org.uk if you have any questions                                                                     
You may also find the HSE's Management Standards helpful.
