“Quality stays bring us closer to our clients. And that can help them save lives”
Like many businesses, Workplace Emergency Management (WEM) moved online during the pandemic. “But face-to-face training gets the best results,” says managing director Steven Lowe, whose company travels across Australia to provide evacuation plans, emergency responses and in-house training for childcare and aged-care facilities, offices and warehouses. “Preparing a facility for emergencies is relevant to their equipment, their layout, their people. And our training is interactive. People might never have used a fire extinguisher so they’re better prepared when training is hands-on.”
BOOK STAYS THE SMART WAY
Half of WEM’s 24 staff are on the road at any time. Each consultant travels at least one week a month so getting the best quality stays within budget is paramount. By booking a Qantas Hotel through their Business Account, the business can earn an additional 3 Qantas Points per $1 spent on stays, on top of the 3 points per $1 earned by the Frequent Flyer. “With some booking platforms there are cancellations and unlisted fees. We trust Qantas Hotels.” Lowe appreciates the range of hotels – more than 5,000 around Australia – and competitive price points. “We’re a medium enterprise; we have financial constraints. Qantas Hotels easily allows us to compare price and services.”
USE POINTS TO REWARD STAFF
WEM’s team flies to all parts of Australia – from Beaudesert, Queensland, to Broome in Western Australia. This is where upgrades to Business and discounted Qantas Club memberships through Qantas Business Rewards make a difference. The company earns more than 200,000 Qantas Points a year through Qantas Hotels stays. “All the points are reinvested into staff to make their lives easier. They’re doing a great service and we want to give back.”
