## **Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2022**
The Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (CIEHF) served its members and the profession through a full programme of activity and continuous communication in 2022, contributing to another successful year. This report sets out how we have achieved this.
CIEHF is recognised through its Chartered status as the pre-eminent professional membership body for ergonomics and human factors in the United Kingdom. We are one of the most active professional bodies for ergonomists and human factors professionals anywhere in the world. We attracted 339 new members in 2022 with a total membership of 1967 at the end of the year, a net gain of 17 members from our 2021 end of year figure of 1950. Whilst our overall members numbers have shown little growth, our ability to attract new members has helped us beat an international trend where our fellow ergonomics associations and societies in other countries are reporting reductions in member numbers.
It is important to note that most of the recruitment of new members and loss of existing members was in our Associate and Student (i.e. non-qualified) Member grades. Our qualified professional member numbers have remained relatively steady. 514 members (26% of total membership) kept or gained their Chartered status in 2022. These members demonstrated their continuing professional competence and expertise by providing over 3,500 continuous professional development (CPD) submissions as part of our annual chartership process. It is a priority to encourage non-qualified members and non-members in the ergonomics and human factors profession to go on the path to chartership. In 2023, we plan to develop activities and resources to encourage and support existing members in upgrading to professional membership.
The Institute’s Chief Executive departed in March 2022 with a replacement appointed mid-year and starting in his role in September 2022. Despite this gap in leadership, the Institute had a very good year with the staff team successfully implementing foundational projects that began in 2021.
In mid-February we launched a new, more modern and ‘responsive’ website and our new logo and branding, which were all very well received and successfully rolled out across all channels and content. We also made significant investments in our digital infrastructure, moving to a new dual content management system (CMS) and customer relationship management (CRM) system. This is already helping us better serve the needs of our members and other stakeholders.
One of the first challenges the new Chief Executive has been asked to address is to refresh the organisation’s strategy which will be a priority activity in 2023. The current 2020-2024 strategy has served the organisation well but we have broadly achieved the ambition outlined in that plan. In reviewing the current strategy and with the benefit of hindsight, the trustees have agreed that while the current strategic plan has driven some excellent strategic choices as demonstrated by the achievements included in this and previous reports, it was weak on measurement and having clear long-term ambitions. The trustees agreed the scope and process for developing a new strategic plan in their December 2022 meeting, including a plan to carry out a member survey as a key input.
One area for improvement we started working on in 2022 was better data and analytical tools to understand the state of member engagement. One of the benefits of our new CRM is that it is easier to automatically track member activity and so we now have created processes to log member interactions including website logins and attendance at member events.

## **Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2022**
## **Ensuring financial resilience and stability**
Our financial position continues to be strong. There have been some fluctuations in our forecast income and expenditure over the year but this did not affect our overall financial health. For example, membership subscription income at year end was lower than predicted, partly due to the fact that we now offer monthly direct debit payments which means not all income for membership subscriptions starting or renewing this year will be received this year. At the same time, expenditure on management and staff was less than budgeted due to timings in the recruitment of the CEO and Head of Learning & Development. We also saw our first income from the development of Learning Pathways.
The royalty income from our two associated journals, ‘Ergonomics’ and ‘Applied Ergonomics’ remained healthy in 2022 and we believe that will continue into 2023. The financial risks identified with the move to open access publishing has not had a detrimental impact on our income to date, but we will continue to monitor the situation.
Overall, we had an operating surplus at the end of the year of £30.5k. Our robust financial position combined with a recognition of the challenges we all face with the cost-of-living crisis led to a decision to freeze membership fees for another year (they have not risen since 2019).
We are forecasting a significant increase in revenue in 2023. Our investment in learning (see below) has meant that it is becoming a significant new stream of income for our organisation. If this grows as we expect, we will have more funds available to put back into the profession.
Our end of year financial results have given us confidence to plan for continued growth in the coming year and we have committed to hire an additional employee to help us deal with the expected increase in workload related to the Learning Pathways and our commitment to invest more staff time in data and analytics. Our Financial Accounts are presented later in this document.
## **Supporting our members**
Member engagement continues to be strong. We have a proactive cohort of member volunteers who serve as trustees and sit on our Professional Affairs Board, who act as reviewers, mentors and assessors, who lead Regional Networks, Sector and Special Interest Group and who generate content for webinars and publications.
In 2022, we hosted 52 online member meet-ups with 810 attendees. For the first time, we hosted our annual conference in two parts and featured 82 speakers in total. A two-day in-person conference in the UK, our first to be held post-pandemic, attracted 138 attendees. It was preceded by two days of webinars two weeks before, attended by 270 people from 33 countries.
We have a range of digital resources for members including online versions of our quarterly magazine ‘The Ergonomist’, access to journals, our ‘Communities’ discussion forum which is a platform for members to exchange thought leadership, research, insight and best practice, and a weekly email communication to members which gets open rates in excess of 50%.
## **Investment in Learning**
In recent years, a number of experienced members have approached the Institute to raise their concerns about the pool of talent coming into the profession and going on to be Chartered. At the same time, there has been a decline in ergonomics and human factors courses and a view from industry that without significant training, new human factors recruits lacked some key competencies. This was the driver for our decision in 2021 to invest in learning.
Page 4
## **Chartered Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors**
## **Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2022**
We made significant progress on that commitment in 2022. We recruited a Head of Learning & Development in a brand new role who is now leading the development of our new Learning Management System (LMS). We have also created a significant amount of content following development of a three-level, multi-module Learning Pathway framework. This has been transferred to the LMS in an illustrated and engaging format. The core content for each module has been developed with the help of members expert in communicating human factors to a breadth and depth that will enable learners to become competent practitioners. It is anticipated that it will take learners a minimum of two years to complete all three levels of the Pathway. Successful completion will give them eligibility to apply for Technical Membership.
We are now beginning to customise the content for certain sectors including construction, rail and mining, with the help of members who specialise in those areas. Six learners from the rail sector started to pilot Level 1 content in late 2022 and our ambition is to enrol over 1000 learners in 2023. We signed agreements with three companies in 2022 to deliver the Learning Pathway for their employees and discussions began with other interested organisations.
This will be a key tool for educating those in other professions about the value of applying human factors using specialist tools and techniques and in working with qualified human factors professionals. Our hope is that this will greatly increase the number of people who understand the benefits of our profession ‘on the ground’ in organisations. We also hope that having a pipeline of learners exposed to the discipline will encourage more people to embark on the journey to become a Chartered practitioner.
We contributed to an industry-led trailblazer group that has developed a degree apprenticeship programme in human factors. The apprenticeship has been designed as an integrated Master’s degree and successful graduates of the programme will qualify as a Graduate Member of CIEHF and be on the path to chartership. The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education approved the human factors occupational standard and end point assessment plan in 2022. The funding band application – developed in partnership with two universities who want to offer the programme – was submitted to the Department for Education. If, as hoped, this is approved in early 2023, the programme can launch in time for the academic year starting in September 2023.
## **Engaging the broader profession**
We have had another successful year in raising the profile of our sector. Our social media presence is important in our Charter obligation to raise public awareness of the discipline and its applications. In November, we reached a milestone of 5000 followers on LinkedIn and a 41% increase in followers during the year with our webinars and videos prompting the most reaction.
In total in 2022, we delivered 27 webinars and published 31 new infographics, videos and publications (including three white papers, three guidance documents and two chapters of an e-book). This resulted in 27,400 downloads and views of our content. We also continued to publish ‘Think’, our monthly e-newsletter available to everyone which has over 3000 subscribers.
## **Partnerships**
Collaborating and working with professional and occupational institutes, trade bodies, research entities, government departments, agencies and others to influence how integrated design can improve life, wellbeing and performance is key element of our strategic plan. We believe that working with others will contribute to us broadening and strengthening our influence and our ability to deliver all the elements of our strategy, including becoming a world-class professional body.

## **Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2022**
Engagement highlights in 2022 included supporting the Energy Institute and Loughborough University develop and deliver learning pathways for professionals in the energy and healthcare sectors respectively. We are also an active participant in the International Ergonomics Association and continue to support the development of smaller societies. For example, we have worked with our sister association in New Zealand providing them with resources and information about our accreditation processes and grades to assist with their own development in these areas.
## **Conclusion**
Overall, we have had a very successful year, supporting members, organisations and the wider public. We would like to thank the CIEHF Team who work tirelessly to ensure we achieve what we set out to do. We thank all our members who volunteer their time and effort in many roles - we could not fulfil our aims without their dedication and commitment.
As we look to 2023, there are real opportunities for the profession. We are living in very challenging times and ergonomics and human factors specialists are very well placed, whether within their organisations or sectors, to help society grapple with the social, economic and environmental challenges we are facing.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Mr Jonathan Berman Treasurer, Trustee

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

## **Income and endowments**
## _**Deferred income**_
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:

Page 11
## **Chartered Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022**
## _**Investment income**_
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## _**Raising funds**_
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **Support costs**
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
**Asset class** Furniture and fittings
**Depreciation method and rate** 25% cost
Page 12
## **Chartered Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022**
## **Fixed asset investments**
Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Financial instruments**
## _**Investments**_
Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairment. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored.
