|
In this newsletter we look at some of the savings our customers are achieving using ErgoWize for their DSE compliance needs. There is also information on new courses, the titles currently under development and some exciting expansion news from EssentialSkillz... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organisations using ErgoWize are finding that the workload associated with DSE compliance is being massively reduced, saving them time, resources and lots of money! ErgoWize is unique in helping users to better qualify risk and enables them to resolve most of the minor issues themselves while they are completing their self assessment, significantly reducing the amount of issues requiring escalation to a DSE Assessor or higher. "How on earth we managed before we purchased ErgoWize we will never know!" While this customer's risk assessment uncovered 266 issues for every 100 users, an incredible 238 issues (89%) were resolved by the users as they completed their self assessment using tailored advice and assistance given by ErgoWize. This left only 28 issues (11%) requiring follow up by a DSE Assessor. This massive reduction on the number of issues escalated to DSE Assessors has saved the organisation 1,000's of hours following up concerns and has enabled them to reduce the number of DSE Assessors they require from 50+ to just 8. "The various data provided really impressed our Health and Safety Committee and has already resulted in influencing changes in policy. Using ErgoWize really does make a huge difference."

To meet this growth EssentialSkillz have opened a new office in Milton Keynes. Managing Director, Tony Dervan, believes that "with over 300 UK based organisations, employing between 100 to 30,000 staff, currently using our software we needed a central location to bring us closer to our customers and provide them with even more face-to-face after sales service." On the choice of Milton Keynes as the company's new base Tony said it came down to "the excellent transport infrastructure afforded by Milton Keynes and particularly the impressive rail links to London, Birmingham and Manchester. We encourage our staff to use these safer and more environmentally friendly options before ever stepping into a car!" Tony concluded by saying that EssentialSkillz plan on expanding their Milton Keynes presence over the next 12 months and "will be hiring more highly committed customer support staff to continue the EssentialSkillz tradition of providing exceptional customer care!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any queries regarding the above, or if there's anything else EssentialSkillz can help you with, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
