OMJ recently undertook a Stand Down Event for their gas engineering division, a truly collaborative event endorsed by speakers from both Cadent Gas and OMJ while also complemented by external guest speakers from INPD and Simple Tech Support. The event covered all aspects of operational delivery but provided a real focus on Cable Avoidance, Accessibility, Customer Care and Cyber Security.
OMJ’s Head of HSEQ, Shaun Howard, opened the event with a review of recent contract performance. The safety element of the day focused on cable avoidance and was superbly supported by Cadent and London’s Head of Mains Replacement, Stuart Donaldson.
Guest Speakers Gary Hawkins and Alexandra Akitici then took centre stage with a top class interactive session focussed on Accessibility and the associated impact of our works and Streetworks in general. The event continued with William Clement providing an insight into the psychological considerations of the various approaches to Customer Care while Nick Ashton from Simple Tech Support offered guidance and coaching on the hot topic of Cyber Security.
OMJ’s Mark Jordan hosted the event and concluded with his appreciation of all the speakers and the attendees, “We have been running this type of event now for several years but when you take a wholly collaborative approach with the unwavering support from a client such as Cadent, you can truly harness real engagement from our front line staff and provide a suitable platform for learning by all.”
OMJ made awards on the day to Scott Dominy, Carl Holt and Lee Cook for their Safety performance while Gavin Carty and William Richards were awarded for their performance in Customer Care. The event concluded that evening with a donation from OMJ to Blind In Business & Ehlers-Danlos Support UK in recognition of the efforts on the day by our Accessibility speakers.
