GFSB & DAWN hold a joint Breakfast Club
The Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses (GFSB) held its Breakfast Club last Thursday. Francis Buttigieg and Victor Gonzalez were the guest speakers representing Dignity at Work Now (DAWN). The online Zoom meeting was well attended by GFSB members. Most aspects of bullying in the workplace were presented and discussed followed by a question and answer session.
GFSB and DAWN hope to jointly produce standardised Dignity at Work policies designed to meet the needs of the range of small businesses in Gibraltar and in compliance with the BULLYING AT WORK ACT. Developing a training programme for business managers was also considered as a possible future project.
Both the GFSB and DAWN look forward to working closely together towards these aims.

Growing Beyond the Owner
For many SMEs, the success of the business has been built on the expertise, relationships and commitment of its owner. This entrepreneurial approach has been instrumental in the growth of many of Gibraltar's successful businesses. However, as organisations develop, dependence on a single individual can become a strategic risk.
