Empowering Safety: Streamlining Emergency Team Training for UK Retail Locations

Our client faced a critical need for emergency team training, encompassing first aid and fire marshal training, across their extensive network of Retail locations throughout the UK. The challenge lay in orchestrating these courses at times convenient for employees amidst the demanding backdrop of the retail environment.

Additionally, the client required seamless coordination with external vendors while diligently tracking costs, certificates, and employee training levels, all compounded by the reactive nature of their training schedule where employee certifications were expiring.

To address these multifaceted challenges, we implemented a comprehensive solution. We initiated the creation of individualized records for each store, providing a shared platform for store personnel to manage training information efficiently. This data seamlessly fed into a centralized tracker, offering the client instant visibility into the percentage of trained employees relative to the total headcount, thus facilitating targeted course identification. Moreover, we established a meticulous cost tracker, meticulously maintained by Antea UK, enabling the client to monitor course expenditures, additional costs, and attendance figures with precision.

In collaboration with a trusted professional training provider, meticulously vetted to ensure compliance with legal standards and delivery of top-tier training, Antea Group UK orchestrated first aid and fire marshal courses tailored to the client's unique requirements.

Through our concerted efforts, Antea Group UK has successfully orchestrated a series of courses across Retail locations in the UK throughout January, with plans for ongoing sessions throughout the year. By assuming administrative responsibilities and fostering direct communication with stores, we optimized course planning, resulting in higher attendance rates and cost-effectiveness. This hands-on approach not only maximized employee engagement but also cultivated a culture of safety, fostering a positive attitude towards safety practices within the organization.
