Getting Your Team Onboard with New Air Quality Solutions
Implementing any new solution in your organisation requires getting stakeholders aligned. And air quality monitoring tech is no exception, especially if you haven’t used the tech before or are opting for a more advanced solution. Without buy-in across your company, even tools that might offer you clear benefit.
So how do you drive adoption? It starts with engaging the right people across functions. Here are some tips.
Get Executives on Your Side
Make a compelling business case to executive leadership about the ROI – whether it’s risk reduction, improved operations, or meeting the sustainability goals that the company has outlined. Speak their language. Help them see how monitoring ties to strategic priorities.
The team at EMSOL can help prepare a c-suite summary for you to share. First ask yourself what senior leadership’s key strategic objectives are so we can tailor the information accurately.
Bring Site Operations Onboard
The people actually using the technology day-to-day need to be excited about it too. Show site managers how instant alerts make their jobs easier and more proactive. It is worth emphasising how it is a time-saver, not a burden. Unlike other systems that require you to wade through data, EMSOL can save time on managing pollution. All the while helping to avoid time consuming community complaints by arming those on site with proactive alerts.
Highlight how EMSOL’s technology can help them stay compliant, address issues rapidly, and keep sites running smoothly. Allowing them to get on with their main job. They’ll quickly see the benefits.
Collaborate with Procurement
Procurement plays a key role during vendor evaluations. Include them from the start rather than as an afterthought. Provide specs and requirements to inform RFPs. Evaluate options together.
Position monitoring as a strategic investment that connects with sustainability targets, regulatory compliance and protecting the organisation’s reputation, not just another vendor. Offer to streamline their procurement workload by providing robust comparisons and assessments. The EMSOL team can also help ensure you have access to whatever data you need to speed along the procurement process.
Ready to Go
A smooth adoption requires tailored training for different user groups. To help ensure they are set up for success the EMSOL team is on hand to offer demos, quick start guides, and ongoing support.
Once you are onboard with EMSOL, keep track of results like improved response times, reduced pollution etc and celebrate wins across the company. This maintains engagement and momentum, and people love a good news story around sustainability.
Getting your team’s buy-in takes work. But take the time to engage across functions, and your monitoring initiative will gain traction. With stakeholders aligned, you have the ingredients for successful adoption.
