Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
Legend has adopted the internationally recognised project methodology of PRINCE2 for delivering projects in partnership with our clients. Legend conducts training onsite with you in groups of up to 15. The training is split into specific categories and is tailored to meet your business needs. As standard Legend will conduct Front of House, Back of House and Super User training and all training sessions are supported with documentation. If you select added value modules then additional training is required to ensure your staff are fully trained in the specialised modules.
Legend also has the option to provide online training which can be used for initial set up or ongoing training for new starters. You will be given a project manager throughout the implementation and a project tracker which is managed by Project Managers from both teams to ensure the project is delivered on time and implemented exactly how you require.

End-of-contract process
Legend shall:
a) return all Customer Data held by the Supplier to the Customer within thirty (30) days of termination in an industry standard format and on an industry standard media, or as otherwise mutually agreed;
b) destroy or delete any copies of the Customer Data on the earlier of: (i) ninety (90) days from the date of termination and (ii) fifteen (15) days of the request of the Customer, and provide; and

Description of customisation
Xyz, a user-friendly system for managing large multi-facility, multi-site organizations, offers intuitive configuration options. It allows centralized changes at the enterprise, regional, or site level. The booking module enables authorized users to create activities, assign resources, and set prices. Xyz streamlines workflows across sites, making it easy to edit locations and activities. Detailed pricing structures for members and non-members are also part of the system. Additionally, Xyz provides a time-saving bulk import feature for quick additions to the booking timetable.
The first part of the implementation is understanding your business requirements, how you want the system work and planning in key milestones for the project. Your team will work alongside our experienced implementation team in a series of configuration workshops to customise the system, add resources, locations, inventory items, memberships and agreements to ensure that from the first day, all bookable resources are available on all platforms (Front of House, Online, and Native App).

Fighting climate change

Xplor is committed to achieving net zero by 2025. This will be achieved by:
• Reducing waste, towards zero waste having implemented waste management plans in our office in Newcastle.
• Reducing travel emissions having implemented carbon offsets for all flights staff have to take and encouraging the use of public transport wherever possible.
• Supporting customers in achieving their sustainability goals.
• For Earth Day, we hosted Catherine Uden from ocean conservation and advocacy organisation Oceana to help us learn more about plastic waste and how we can reduce our impact. Reducing waste is part of our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, an international framework and best practice for sustainable business practices.

Tackling economic inequality

• Xplor is supporting young people in Newcastle into work by delivering employability support (e.g. CV advice, mock interviews, careers guidance).
• Due to the increased level of remote working, local residents would be welcome to apply for positions within Xplor where we pay above industry standards.
• We strive to create a globally diverse, high-performing workforce that mirrors the countries, communities, and customers we serve.
• We are an equal opportunity employer that doesn’t discriminate on an individual’s race, color, gender, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, physical or mental disability, pregnancy, marital status, or any other status protected by country, federal, state, region, or local laws.
• Xplor offers employees access to a free training platform allowing them to upskill and develop new skills in areas relevant to their role or with regards to new areas within the business they wish to pursue.
• Xplor offers a healthcare package to all employees with the aim of supporting staff with physical and mental health issues, resulting in reduced absenteeism.

Wellbeing

Increasing participation is at the heart of what Legend by Xplor stands for. The software provides the tools to enable the Council to engage with more people in the community and promote healthy living.

As the system can aid the Council in increasing participation due to the simplicity of the booking process, simple joining process and ability to book guests into exercise classes, the system can:
• help people live healthier lives
• help older people become more mobile, which in turn reduces the burden on the NHS
• help reduce falls in the community
• help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer
• help reduce antisocial behaviour in young people.

Specifically, there are modules within the Legend portfolio that can have a big effect on the above outcomes, and we would suggest discussions are held to explore how these modules could be used to achieve agreed Social Value outcomes.
