No one knows when an employee will leave, but it can and will happen. Whether employees are recruited to other departments, take a leave, or move on to a new career, we’ve noticed an increase in the main HSEp contact change during the implementation of the program. Having a backup who knows where the main contact left off is vital to the continuation of the program. Being able to pick up where they left off will ensure that your topics will be successful in achieving a rebate.
We know that everyone is busy and there seems to be fewer resources to rely on, but if you do not have an HSEp backup who is aware of where you are in the program and where all your documents are stored, we strongly suggest you arrange for one. The last thing you want is to be caught unprepared. You’ve paid to be in the program and it would be a shame to have to defer your topics and lose out on the whole year because you don’t know where to start to get back on track.
When this happens, you should have at least one person as an HSEp backup at minimum.
These backups can also help you create HSEp content, follow up with your employees to
complete training, gather evidence, assist in the evaluation step, and take over without skipping
a beat if your main contact leaves.
Dunk will do everything we can to assist you and help you get back on track, but there are a
few things that we cannot control, such as the time left in your approved action plan, where your
supporting documents are kept, and the finer details of your topic implementation. The success
of your program hinges on all of these.
If your main contact leaves, it is important to:
Do a recap of where they left off in the program and where resources are stored before they
leave.
Hand off the program to the backup.
Notify Dunk of the change so we can provide access to our portals, add them to our
distribution lists, and get things back on track if possible.
Discuss with Dunk how this will impact your HSEp.
Being prepared is crucial to the success of your program and your ability to achieve rebates are
dependent on this!
