Major IT Shake-up

Within the last few months the business liability insurers have refused to honour a considerable portion of claims. The reason for this are Insurers refusals to pay claims against their policy where the “members of staff were not qualified” to undertake the work leading up to or as a consequence of the accident/failure or claim..

According to the business insurance industry it is no longer acceptable for a qualified computer engineer for example to install Cisco equipment or route a network around the office without the necessary certification in that exact field. This has led to a major shake-up of the current IT industry and has left many business owners bemused about their liability coverage.

How does this effect people already working within the IT sector?

Hypothetically speaking if you are suffering with repetitive strain injury because you spend all day typing; even if you fell of your chair, you will no longer be able to claim against the companies insurer unless you are qualified to be typing in the first place!

With this involving the insurers and not government led, any grandfather rights that may have been permitted before and definitely not applicable. Even if you have been doing the same job for years, if you are not qualified, you are not insured.

Surge in IT Training

Many businesses have taken stock of their employees certified abilities and started introducing vigorous re-training to current standards in their fields. Others have chosen to outsource more of their work to qualified individuals and bespoke businesses.

There have also been reports of people being sacked from work apparently due to the current economical climate in the UK, only to be replaced within days with a person who is already qualified to do their job.

With businesses having to bare the brunt of this change of insurers policies, they are now only employing new staff who already have recognised qualifications for the work and many previously diverse jobs are being split between several members of staff who meet the criteria and qualifications.

"By 2009 you will have to hold a formal qualification in your current job to be covered by your companies business liability insurance!"
