Press release
Pollen Consulting ranges from maintaining the COO to developing an app to support the COVID 19 pandemic in a week!
Everyone reacts differently to a global pandemic and in constant change you can either fight or flee. Pollen took this opportunity to think beyond the 1.5-meter distance and to transform their team of entrepreneurial minds into innovation mode. In addition to their ability to work together, they have teamed up with industry, feel-good and technology expertise to develop an app (in record time!) That COVID-19 proactively helps companies protect employee health while ensuring that production is not affected.
Pollen has put a number of projects on hold in the past few weeks or it has been difficult to keep projects up to date while working remotely.
“Our new standard is beginning to establish itself. Customers are ready to move at an unbelievable pace, which means that we have to adapt our offer to their needs. “CEO Paul Eastwood
“Although there is a demand for our services in the medium term, we know that there will be delays in the next 4 to 6 weeks as customers familiarize themselves with the new standard! We are not pushing to help companies know they are who we are and will ask if they need help, ”continued Eastwood.
With a business full of incredibly smart people who love to make things happen, pollen is on the rise entrepreneurially.
Through some incredibly good relationships in the industry, they were able to quickly understand where customers and the industry had gaps and enable the company to use its skills to find new sources of revenue.
“Our first step was to position the company so that it could react quickly. We have set up our fast response service, which includes sending our team to companies that need roles to get the product out of the door or solve a problem within 24 hours. This led us to our next company by creating a syndicate purchasing group in our customer base to use scaling to source PSA and other needs – the first flight arrives next weekend, ”added Eastwood.
Perhaps their biggest linchpin was the technology area, where after brainstorming with some customers, contacts, and friends, they saw a big gap for every major service company by tracking and confirming the health of employees every day before visiting the website, Covid -19 cases, isolated workers or those required when a new case is identified.
It might be a short-term need, but beyond that they saw a long-term purpose for the general well-being and mental health of employees that one of their new partners, Chris Allen, had already worked on.
"Working with a friend from the pond who had already started developing an app to play a proactive role in the health and well-being of employees, we recognized the opportunity to use it as a platform for the solution, while we leave a tool in place that has long-term contributed to the well-being of employees. In just 5 days, the team mobilized a hit team to develop the workflows, program the app, and develop a service model with the product and mental health developments already in the app store for those who are isolated at home. ” Eastwood concluded.
It's amazing what can be achieved when a team focuses and uses their synergetic strength.
The app is now available in the App Store and on Google Play. You can register your company and find out more at healthcheckyou.com.
