About Corporate Membership
There are two corporate membership categories, both based on the business or organisation’s annual turnover.
- Band A – for those with an annual turnover up to £250k
- Band B – for those with an annual turnover over £250k
Corporate membership does not confer any professional qualification. It carries non-voting status. You and colleagues may be eligible to join individually as Associate or Student Members and have the option of joining as Professional Members if the ISMAUK Membership Guidelines are fulfilled. These membership categories receive the appropriate membership benefits, certificates and logos for individual use
Joining Criteria
1 Any business or organisation that agrees to comply with the ISMAUK Charter
Our charter promotes wellbeing, particularly psychological wellbeing, which enables effective performance at work, no matter how large or small the organisation, improving performance, and in turn reducing absenteeism and 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 (Health & Safety Executive).
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 undertaking a risk assessment and acting on it. If you have fewer than five employees, you don’t have to write anything down but it is considered useful to do so. If you have five or more employees, you are required by law to write down your risk assessment
