✨ Our Project Managers and Project Coordinators came together recently to take part in a full-day workshop with resilience as its central theme. Throughout the session, attendees gained practical insights into key areas such as commercial risk reviews, contracts, the importance of building resilience and circles of control. ✨ One of the highlights of the workshop was the focus on real-world scenarios, where participants collaborated in group exercises to tackle common project challenges. These interactive sessions provided a great platform for sharing experiences, discussing ideas, and learning from one another. It was good to see everyone actively contributing and sharing strategies that can be applied to their day-to-day work. ✨ We also took part in some interactive games, designed to foster teamwork and good communication through friendly competition and shared problem-solving. Although we work really well together remotely, it was lovely to have everyone in the same room and see those important professional relationships work and flourish, even under the ‘pressure’ of building a robot. ✨ Of course, as we do tend to work remotely, we also made sure that time to catch-up with each other socially was also built into the event and afterwards, as is the RSK Biocensus way! ✨ A big thank you to all the Project Managers and Project Coordinators who participated and contributed to the event’s success. #teambonding #happyatwork #teamsuccess

Alison E. recently attended a site at a school in Cheshire to complete a bat presence inspection, working alongside a fantastic team led by Erika Dahlberg, Iveta Nikandrovaite, and Daniella Langton. The team, in collaboration with RSK's Up and Under, conducted ceiling void checks using specialist equipment provided by their fully trained team. It was a great experience to work on a joint project with another RSK company and collaborate with John Davidson and Liam Smith! #Teamwork #Ecology #Workingtogether

At RSK Biocensus, we provide all employees with a dedicated Volunteer Day allowance, encouraging them to get involved in their communities and make a positive impact. After seven years of barn owl-free boxes, Rachel Coombes was excited to share that this year, three nests had baby barn owls! 🦉✨ This was carried out under a license as part of the Suffolk Barn Owl Monitoring Program, which is a continuous effort to keep track of the breeding population of barn owls in Suffolk. This season saw more broods but fewer chicks per brood, likely due to a poor vole population after the wet winter. Some boxes were taken over by other species, like stock doves or hornets, with jackdaw nests being the trickiest to clean out. Despite the challenges, moments like holding a young, sleepy barn owl made it all worthwhile! 😊 #conservation #barnowls #volunteering

Exciting news! 🌱 A new research project is set to explore the biodiversity potential of solar farms in the UK. RSK Biocensus is proud to collaborate with EDF Renewables UK & Ireland and the University of Exeter on this initiative, focusing on the proposed 380-hectare Longfield Solar Farm in Essex – soon to be the UK's largest ☀️, generating enough energy for 96,000 homes annually 🏡. Over six years, a PhD student will study this site and others, supported by RSK Biocensus and the University of Exeter. Learn more about this important step toward a greener, more biodiverse future by visiting our website. 🌿🔗 #Biodiversity #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/efax5gqp
