Avoiding staff disruptions impacting retail maintenance

Many retailers have excellent maintenance strategies, set up and monitored by great staff. But what happens when they move to a new employer, or have to go on extended leave? That’s when you need expert support, ready to jump in and keep your maintenance schedule on track and your locations compliant. That was exactly the situation faced by a client of ours, a world-renowned fashion accessories brand.

Despite searching for a new Health & Safety Manager, they had been unsuccessful in finding the ideal candidate. Meanwhile, they were monitoring the risk of their locations becoming non-compliant.

The answer was to approach us and ask we act as their H&S Manager for an interim period until they could find a replacement. As we handle inspections, audit and certifications, keeping their estate maintenance on track was simple – and our customer could focus on their core business.

Within just 15 working days, we completed 8 audits to keep their locations compliant. This took the pressure off our customer, allowing them to identify the ideal new H&S Manager rather than feeling pushed into employing the first person they saw. And whoever steps in to the role would have the time to settle in rather than firefighting from day one.

If you need help to cover expert help to cover gaps in your facilities maintenance management, then contact us now. We’re here to listen and give you great advice that can take the weight off your shoulders and let you focus on your business.
