Description
The Client
Continental Landscapes was formed in 1989 and is a member of the Krinkels Group, who operate in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and the UK. Since 1989, they have grown substantially in size and reputation. The company has developed significantly and now has a multi-million pound turnover.
Continental’s success is firmly rooted in the quality of its staff and processes: staff care, wellness and safety are therefore primary considerations throughout the company.
The Back Story
Continental depots around the UK vary from 4-50 staff. Smaller depots are difficult to service cost effectively. It is important not to disrupt service delivery to Continental’s clients in Local Authorities etc.
Continental therefore needed a more appropriate and flexible surveillance solution offering more control, with the ability to work around staff needs and schedules. It was vital to get buy-in from staff, bringing all staff into the program, not just those working with ‘noisy kit’, and to increase compliance. Transparency of results and integration into the existing risk & safety management structure was also essential. We needed to achieve all this while managing costs.
Why Continental Landscapes Selected HealthWizard
“Continental chose HealthWizard after many weeks of procurement and finally found a supplier that could deliver what we needed.
“Excellent technology and final support in receiving reports and follow-ups. Although we do not put a price on Health and Safety we have seen a financial saving of over 50% per test backed up by an excellent service.
“We were delighted to finally find a supplier that could deliver on our requirements”
Alan Roberts, Compliance Manager
The HealthWizard Solution & What Happened Next?
With a thorough understanding of the issues, HealthWizard and the Continental H&S team created a simple account structure with separate test cohorts for each depot for data security and best team monitoring. Continental and HealthWizard also worked together to devise the optimum process management structure to ensure seamless, responsive and flexible hearing tests for all staff, that also met the organisational requirements.
A pair of HealthWizard handsets were provided as part of the contract, complete with lifetime warranty, servicing and backup. In consideration of the frequent handset movements and potential handling requirements, HealthWizard went further and devised a tougher handset package, based around a new case, which has now become the standard offering for new clients.
The package included full familiarisation training at each depot, which was rolled out over a 2 week period, followed up by regular contact between HealthWizard and Continental to ensure continued operational success.
”Each test takes no more than 18 minutes on average to complete and we have seen a 0% failure in returned reports against a current 300 completed tests across the company.
Once the equipment is turned on and setup (approximately 4 minutes) the administrator can allow the individual to complete the test alone, following the step by step instructions displayed on the screen.
Once the testing is complete the back office user stores the received report in our HR files.
In the event of a referral we have developed a letter template with HealthWizard that is sent to the individual advising to seek further advice which we also keep on record.” Alan Roberts, Compliance Manager
