Doing Our Bit for Hurricane Sandy

Nigel Frank International — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 17:04:24 +0000

On Monday 29th October, one of the worst hurricanes ever to hit North East America, struck. Causing chaos, Hurricane Sandy tore her way through New York, New Jersey and the North East coast as well as Canada and the Caribbean.

Killing over 100 people and causing an estimated $65.6 billion worth of damage, Hurricane Sandy flooded the subway lines, tunnels and streets and cut of power across the area.

As well as our office in New York being shut down, many staff within the office were personally affected by the disaster, as well as many of our clients and candidates.

In the days after the event we at Nigel Frank arranged a charity ‘dress down’ day, across our 5 Global headquarters, in aid of the Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Fund. With all staff participating we raised $2,500 dollars towards the fund.

We also partnered with the Salesforce.com Foundation, who matched our collection, adding to a total of $5,000 towards helping those affected by the disaster.

Our thoughts and support remain with those still re-building their lives and businesses in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

Speedy Communications at Subaru with Microsoft Lync

Nigel Frank International — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 15:57:06 +0000

Subaru Canada are cutting all the corners when it comes to communicating with their dealer networds, by implementing Microsoft Lync.

In the past the company, as so many others do, would communicate via phone and email with their 88 dealers accross the country. However, this came with it's own problems resulting in lost productivity through missed calls and unread emails and general breakdowns in communication.

After exhausting their phone system and being unable to source a suitable alternative, Subaru Canada turned to Microsoft Lync.

Implementing the Lync system has instantly enhanced the communications process, it serves as a competent phone system and mitigates lost productivity. A light system means that if an employee is green they are there and ready for you to call, if not it is yellow.

It has also dramatically reduced travel costs incurred by the company as it is no longer necessary to travel nationwide to meet with each of the 88 dealers working for Subaru.

The Lync system means that sales and ad hoc meetings and training sessions, can all be carried out electronically.

Ted Lalka, Vice-President of Planning and Marketing for Subaru Canada was quoted as saying it is hard to monetise the "return on invement on what Lync has brought to the company" but effectively when information is being communicated quicker it is always a positive return. Even a few hours saved a week accross 500 users would demonstrate a vast improvement in efficiency. That combined with a removed need to renew the phone system anually and reduced travel costs, the return in efficiency and value is extensive.
