Salisbury Group Gets Global Award for
Outstanding Innovation
Salisbury Group, the national facilities management
and maintenance company,has been named
winner of the Outstanding Innovation category at the 2018 Global Business
Excellence Awards.
The
Outstanding Innovation Award recognises the transformational improvements
achieved by Salisbury Group in moving its safety and incident reporting process
from paper to an app-based system. The change has reduced average incident reporting
times from 15 minutes to 90 seconds and has provided a 50% saving in back-of-house
administration. It has also improved report completion rates from 40% to 100%
and has been very popular with Salisbury Group’s employees, who can access the
system from any mobile or tablet device.
Due
to their high profile, the Global Business Excellence Awards attract a wide
range of entries from across the world, from large international PLCs and
public sector organisations to dynamic and innovative SMEs. The winners all
have one thing in common – they are truly outstanding at what they do.
The Global
Business Excellence Awards pride
themselves on having a large panel of independent expert judges who select winners
according to strict criteria for each category and sector. The chairman
of the judging panel said the award recognised several factors:
“Salisbury
Group has elevated health and safety into the digital age with its new app that
replaces paper-based record keeping. Accidents and near misses can be recorded
immediately, speeding up the response mechanism. The app has a built-in camera
and photographs of the accident scene can be transmitted to a central unit – helping
first responders and emergency crews work out how best they should respond.
Another useful feature is that the app can be used without a mobile signal.
This is a ground-breaking app that radically improves efficiency in health and
safety and emergency response.”
Upon
receiving the award, Ed Swales, CEO, Salisbury Group said:
“This
award recognises our ability to innovate for the benefit of our employees and
customers. Our team worked tirelessly to ensure it was easy to use and met our
objectives of simplifying and speeding up the reporting process, and significantly
improving overall safety and health in the workplace. We thank the Global
Business Excellence Awards for this honour.”
