Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

As we continue to work towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions, SVL has gone through a process of moving its full fleet of company cars from diesel to electric vehicles.
We have continued our policy of hybrid working post-pandemic to further reduce our carbon footprint, allowing all staff to work from home for up to 3 days a week. Business travel is also hugely reduced with staff advocating conferences call in place of in-person visits.
As a business, we are moving as many clients as possible from on-premise, server-based software to cloud-based servers and storage. This hugely reduces the physical usage of on-site electricity across a huge range of organisations and also the creation and distribution of significant amounts of hardware, all of which has a positive environmental impact.
In our own building, we have environmental measures in place to reduce the use of electricity, gas and water.
Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

We at SVL have worked very hard to support organisations and businesses to manage and recover from the impacts of COVID. From extending our terms to accommodate clients with short-term cash flow issues, to helping organisations transition from hugely expensive up-front licence-based models of expenditure, previously common-place in our Contact Centre industry, to a consumption-based (or usage-based) payment model which allows clients to pay only for what they used the previous month.
We have rearranged our office to continue to allow for social distancing, but key to our success is the fact that all staff can work-from-home for up to 3 days a week, ensuring our office is never a busy or potentially intimidating place to work.
Our support for our Blue Light, Community Care and NHS clients offers 24/7 support for those still working in the front-line against Covid-19. From providing extra call lines to NHS call-centres for better social distancing, to offering constant support for 24/7 helplines, 111 and 999 control rooms across the UK and Ireland.
Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic inequality

Our main area of work has been to increase supply chain resilience and capacity, by bringing CCAAS products such as Amazon Connect to SME’s in the UK. This type of product allows smaller businesses to finally have all the benefits of a high quality Contact Centre (better customer experience, Analytics, better staff desktop) for a simple usage-based price. This type of software was far to expensive for the SME until the last 18 months as it required heavy up-front investment.
Cyber security within the supply chain is another difficulty we have met using two different methods. As a business, we have achieved our Cyber Essentials Plus Certificate of Assurance, the highest level of certification offered under the Cyber Essentials scheme.
For our clients, we have invested in a new card fraud and digital payments products that removes all risk from payments via phone calls, digital, social or video channels.
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

SVL encourages our staff, suppliers, customers and the Contact Centre community to support disabled people in the workplace. As the technology we sell has evolved, the need for the physical presence of Engineers to work in difficult to access server rooms has reduced dramatically.
Previous restrictions and limitations on these roles have all-but disappeared, allowing technical and engineering support to take place via accessible computers from any venue.
As a disability-positive employer, this allows us to make every role in our business available to a wide variety of applicant and also allows us to partner other suppliers who work in the care community to ensure that we understand the needs of the disabled person in their homes, at work, and when working from home.
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

Staff welfare and well-being has always been at the core of our business. We invest in an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) that gives 24/7, 365 compassionate support to our people, whatever challenges they face. This includes an app and online portal: a comprehensive library of resources to get through life’s challenges, 24 hour helpline and telephone counselling service.
We have a system of regular team meetings for all staff as well as company-wide events and activities. Our Directors have and open-door policy to allow anyone to have confidential discussions and receive full support.
SVL offers staff free private health and dental insurance.
