Team building is more than just a break from the day to day rigmarole of the office; it’s an essential “responsible business” approach to bringing people together in fun and different manners to build trust and enhance performance. Fostering a real sense of team collaboration, we can improve our abilities to solve problems, actively listen to each other and build lasting respectful relationships.   Last week our first cohort of “Responsible Managers” headed to the New Forest for 2 engaging days brimming with activities to bring to life and embed our Responsible Business Strategy. The team undertook a number of games and challenges to emphasise some of the key theories that we centre our Responsible Business Strategy on, highlighting facets of teamwork, good communication, and looking internally at our own behaviours and habits; all while aligning to our company purpose and values.   At Platinum we know that Investing in team building activities is an investment on our culture, a culture where our people feel connected to the company and to one another.   It was great to see the team throw themselves into each activity, the camaraderie that has developed along with the memories they will all keep makes events like these worth their weight in gold.    #teambuilding #responsiblebusiness #proudtobeplatinum

Platinum is dedicated to making a positive impact through responsible business practices and active community involvement. Our Social Value Working Group is committed to ensuring our business fulfills its purpose through volunteering and meaningful initiatives, driving a positive workplace culture and making a difference in our local communities. At the end of June, 6 of our Fareham based team members utilised one of their annual volunteering days to assist one of our Social Value Working Groups commitments, to “support our chosen, local charities”. Sophie’s Legacy arranged a cycling challenge, “Seven for Sophie”, which was designed to encourage visitors at a local shopping centre to participate in reaching a cumulative goal of 300km cycled during the day, while raising money and receiving donations for their fantastic charity. Our team members put on a great show helping Sophie’s Legacy reach their targets by driving contributions and testing their cycling skills. We are grateful for the opportunities to be able to give back to our local community and to help support our chosen charities. Great work from everyone involved. 

In preparation for Team Platinum’s South Downs Way Challenge in September, keen members of the team have been meeting up once a month (in addition to their daily training) to walk sections of the South Downs Way.   On Saturday a number of our keen hikers met up at 8:00am at Queen Elizabeth Country Park to walk the c.25 miles from Buriton to Winchester.   The trail took in some fantastic views of the South Downs & the team completed the 25 miles in approx. 8 hours & achieved 2772ft in elevation gain.   To sponsor our team in their epic 106 mile hike to raise funds for one of our partner charities, Sophie’s Legacy, please visit: https://lnkd.in/e94CNmkJ

There were some early starts for our teams this month with 3 concurrent HV/LV Shutdowns, each being carried out over the weekends to ensure minimal disruption to our clients and the building occupiers.   The projects all ran seamlessly thanks to our teams and our supply partners meticulous planning as well as our clients’ unwavering support; don’t take our word for it though, here is some fantastic feedback we received from one of our clients:   “Thank you for your email and call earlier once mains power had been restored to the building at 11:39. Please pass my thanks and a huge "well done" to the whole team, for their great teamwork, communication and appreciation of our and our occupiers' requirements and expectations. The tight noisy work restrictions (running two generators) imposed upon us by the local Council, along with the retailers staggered operating times, being surrounded by residential neighbours, not to mention plans to commence live broadcasting at 13:30 today (!!) made this a significantly challenging operation. The exercise today was very well-coordinated and could not have gone better. Well done everyone, a remarkable achievement!”   Well done to everyone involved, particularly our Technical and on-site Operational teams.
