Make your voice heard with Policy Voice 📣 Policy Voice is your opportunity to tell government what you think. As our in-house market research tool and a key IoD member benefit, it allows you to directly influence policy and inform developments at the heart of government. Each month, IoD members share their views on key business issues through a short survey of around 10 questions, taking just 3-5 minutes to complete. This month, we would like to know: 📌 What is your organisation investing in over the coming year 📌 If you’re a family business, how changes to Business Property Relief announced in the Budget are affecting your business plans – we think there are still opportunities to influence the implementation of this policy 📌 Your views on a potential measure to increase the uptake of apprenticeships, which we’re working on with the Department for Education. ➡️ Remember, you can see how we’ve used our member's responses in our Policy Voice data hub: https://lnkd.in/esCXDx2K If you’re an IoD member, check your inbox for your exclusive link to complete this now! Survey closes 30 December.📨
