Posted By allan wood whats in a job title? not too long ago we where all health and safety officers now most are classed as health and safety advisers. are they the same role or do some people see them differently.

Posted By Sean Fraser Reasonable question, Allan - the difference is whatever the employer sees it as. I hold a title of Advisor and not manager and definitely not officer - that was deliberate as I saw my role as being there to advise the company on H&S matters - I don't "manage" personnel and I am not an officer as I don't go around doing inspections or such like. The term officer is officious and creates barriers unnecessarily, so it seems to be on the way out. But I agree that the title is often incidental and often irrelevant. Make it whatever you want. But it can sometimes be an indicator of seniority and authority so don't be too dismissive of it either! As for company cars, I wish I'd just taken the money now - the tax is a pain and simply not worth the effort.
