Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
"We help our customers plan their implementation of Microsoft 365 through a series of assessment based and envisioning workshops. Following which high and low level design documentation is produced to articulate the implementation path.

Assessment based workshops provide the client with the opportunity to share their short, medium and long term plans, allowing Insight to align these goals to potential solutions within the M365 tenant platform.

Envisioning workshops provide the client with sight of potential solutions in action throughout a demonstration environment to realise the value of the solution first hand.

High and low level design documentation thereafter provides the client with the path to implementation, and all of the fine configuration details and settings that are required to achieve their set objectives. Such design documentation is then implemented by an Insight engineer and / or the customer should they wish to do so."

Fighting climate change

"Insight’s commitment to the environment, fighting climate change, and helping our customers achieve their environmental objectives is implicit in our Environmental Policy, and ISO 14001:2015 accreditation. Which states “Insight is committed to the protection of the environment … in order to reduce the adverse environmental impacts of its products, activities, and services”.

As part of our corporate responsibility commitment, and in alignment with our value of Heart, we support and deliver charity projects across the UK that support making a better environment. We will leverage this commitment to deliver activities both internally and externally to the delivered services under this framework.

Our activities to fight climate change and support the environment will include minimising waste at our facilities, taking part in environmental projects for local charities, supporting knowledge development of our teams and customers. "

Covid-19 recovery

"Since 2019 Insight have embraced hybrid working and supporting individuals from all areas of our business to work effectively from across the UK. We have learnt and developed practices and policies that support our teammates and our supply chain partners to deliver integrated services that add value.

We believe in the power of leveraging technology to drive positive changes in local communities across the globe. As such we work with suppliers that also follow this value, driving and supporting donation of devices, training, and upskilling services, and encouraging individuals from all stages of their career to work in technology.

Our activities to aid the recovery from the impact of COVID-19 include continuing to offer flexible hybrid remote working opportunities, providing physical and mental wellbeing services to our teammates through services such as Vitality Health, training, and skills development sessions, and offering employment opportunities through our Skills Academy."

Tackling economic inequality

"Insights commitment to tackling economic inequality is driven by our value of Harmony, working as a solutions integrator we combine our expertise and services with key supply chain partners to deliver the best possible solution. Through our collaborative relationships we support customer engagement with specialist SMEs, which can lead to long term growth and development of new technology.

Our Social Value Strategy, which is aligned to the UK Governments model, aims to develop digital skills, enabling young people to access employment opportunities, and drive the future of our industry. We currently drive skills development through: our Skills Academy which delivers a 2-year programme to empower candidates from all stages of life to carve out a successful career in technology, and our STEM Ambassador programme that support activities to encourage the next generation of tech professionals.

Through delivery of work under the framework we support employment and development of skills through activities such as career advice, STEM events, work placements, and mentoring, along with continuing our partner and vendor alliance to support small upcoming specialist expert services to grow. "

Equal opportunity

• Diversity, Inclusion and Equal Opportunities Policy, Global Human Rights Policy, and UK Flexible Working Policy.
• Certified Great Place to Work, Disability Confident Employer, and signatory of the UN Global Compact.

As a company we strive to ensure we meet, where possible exceed, the requirements of the Equality Act 2010, UK Government Social Value Model (PPN 06/20), Modern Slavery Act 2015, and any key legislative or social changes to ensure that our current and future teammates are provided with an environment that encourages equal opportunity through open accessible employment growth, skills development, and fair pay.

Our activities to support equal opportunities through the framework will include open and accessible recruitment practices, skills development through training courses, webinars and development sessions, promoting diversity through our teammate resource groups, and networking with individuals from all industries to support digital transformation."

Wellbeing

As a supportive community of individuals we implement our wellbeing policy, driven through our value of Heart, to provide an environment which encourages healthy communication and the long-term wellbeing of our teams.

As a Disability Confident Employer, certified Great Place to Work, and signatory of the Mental Health at Work Commitment, we ensure that our standards meet or exceed the expectations of both the standards, but also our teammates across our business.

Our activities to support wellbeing of all individuals providing services under this framework will include access to our online Wellbeing Hub, supporting the work of our teammate resource groups (ShesInsight, DiverseABILITY, Insight Stands Out, RESPECT), promoting wellbeing through webinars, provision of training for first aid and MHFA, implementing occupational wellness checks, and drive awareness of support available internally and externally."
