Is your organisation a bit apprehensive about giving staff tools that they could potentially cause havoc with?

Don’t worry, it’s a common concern. When we introduce the capabilities of Warp It, sometimes we get a bit of pushback about its dangers and limitations.

We get asked regularly by our members why we collect data on so many different metrics, what we do with that data, and how they should then use that data to their advantage?

In this guide, we will look at these questions and try to help you see the bigger picture of reuse data, and how it is more valuable than simply knowing how many items have been traded and to whom.

When it comes to video marketing, leveraging your workforce is an excellent way to have a powerful impact on other members of the organisation, as well as external partners.

We’ve spoken about this topic in this past, showing how some of our partners have used a staff video to increase participation in reuse, namely by getting senior figures to take part and encourage engagement.

We believe in the value of training and support, which is why we are launching Stakeholder Buy-In Webinars to ensure your reuse system gets off to a flying start.

 

These webinars are for Warp It customers, prospective customers and also any other organisation who feels they need to get stakeholders pulling behind reuse!

 

Our vision is to make reuse normal and we know how to do that so we will help any organisation who i on that same journey. 

We also offer these Webinars to support existing reuse systems where they can benefit from greater levels of automation or participation.

Reuse projects need collaborators

Getting reuse to thrive internally and externally requires collaborators from around the estate, but getting support from these collaborators can be a real challenge. The best thing you can do is to show everyone on the estate how they benefit from reuse.

Here are some helpful resources:

How does a Waste Manager benefit?

How does a Space or Decant Manager benefit?

How does a Director of Estates benefit?

How does a Head Porter benefit?

How does the ‘big boss’ benefit?

How does a Procurement Manager benefit?

How a workshop can gain support from all

What is a stakeholder session?

We can book you in for a stakeholder session. This online session can help with things like buy-in, participation, and understanding the abilities of the software.

The stakeholder sessions can be joined either by bringing the relevant people into a conference room with a large computer screen, or by each member joining from their desktop, tablet, laptop, or phone.

In the web session we outline the benefits to each of the stakeholders, present the overview, and take any questions that may be had.

The purpose of this article is to show the benefits of a Warp It reuse system to Waste Managers and other related positions.

The Waste Manager (or equivalent) on an estate usually has responsibility for all of the waste that's produced there. This means one of their key objectives is to dispose of this waste in a safe, legal, and sustainable manner. That means managing, recycling, and disposing of solid waste, hazardous waste, bulky waste.

Here’s the big question about Porters:

Do your porters ever complain that one day they’re making a disposal, say for example some chairs, and then the very next day they’re making a delivery of NEW chairs to a different part of the estate?

If the answer is yes, you need to continue.
