Fighting climate change
At Flabba we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and utilise a number of tools to help reduce our footprint and also to educate our current and prospective client base.
Since we are in the business of providing business workflows that utilise video conferencing tooling the very nature of our business helps our clients reduce their carbon footprint. The solutions we sell are specifically designed to reduce what’s called Scope 3 emissions,. It is extremely challenging to directly calculate a business’s carbon footprint, but we provide tooling to our prospective clients, and we also utilise tooling internally at Flabba to help educate and ensure more informed decisions are made around both our customer’s and our own carbon footprint.
Internally we use https://www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx when we carry out annual staff training around Climate Change and how we can modify our behaviours to reduce our carbon footprint. During these training sessions we ask staff to calculate their Scope 3 (Travel) emissions over the last year. We take a record of those readings, and each individual is committed to reducing their Carbon Footprint by 10% per year. A successful reduction in an employee’s carbon footprint will be noted in their year-end review and count towards their social & environmental impact score, which accounts for 5% of an employees end of year performance review.
We have a firm policy internally at Flabba of all internal meetings being carried out using Video Conferencing where possible. We actively encourage working from home and we have a small retained fixed office which is only used for large scale client engagements and conferences that cannot be carried out remotely using video conferencing. We also have a strict travel policy whereby employees must provide evidenced justification for not using trains when they have to travel for work purposes. - Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery
Flabba have been instrumental in helping tackle Covid-19 both here in the UK and internationally.
For context Flabba has a set of business Workflows and Features all centred around Video Conferencing tooling. These Workflows and Features can be very quickly applied to different use cases. For the Home Office they are utilised for the processing of Digital Interviewing for the processing of Visas however we can very quickly create new solutions for different use cases because our applications are based on a modular and core architecture that support all of our solutions.
During Covid-19 we very quickly (within 6 weeks) created a Video Consultation solution, in conjunction with our client Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, to help Healthcare Clinicians and their Patients still be able to consult with one another but through the use of Video Conferencing instead of face-to-face meetings. The result of our work has been recognised by the NHS and we have been awarded an approved software supplier status on the NHS’s new framework called Digital First Online Consultation Video Consultation (DFOCVC) framework which enables the NHS to seamlessly by our solution and thereby continue to help their patient communities securely and safely.
Additionally, our solution has also been vetted and accepted by the Canadian Government Department of Health framework; Canada Health Infoway;

Our Video Interview Recruitment Management platform has also been utilised extensively both during and since we are now coming out of Covid-19 to help employers and employees rapidly and securely connect with one another. Clients of ours have experienced a 50% reduction in their usually recruitment cycle which means they are able to hire people quicker and in greater volume which is helping those affected by Covid-19 from a career/job perspective.
