ATOM is a new organisation and we hope to expand our member benefits and the scope of the organisation as membership grows.
For now our benefits include:
- Negotiating agreed standards for wages and freelance pay.
- Seeking reasonable terms for travel and reimbursements.
- Lobbying for agreed standards for cancellation of bookings.
Future benefits we hope to offer:
- The development of professional standards and a Code of Conduct.
- Mediation between members and employers as the need arises.
- An accreditation process.
- Inclusion in our database of accredited trainers.
- Training opportunities around the world.
Note that membership should not be seen as adversarial in any way, nor is it intended to compromise your relationship with training companies or clients.
Our philosophy is to encourage open dialogue and transparency with employers and agencies to avoid conflict and encourage fair and open discussion.
