Case study - Tri-Synergy
Company background
Tri-Synergy Ltd is a marketing and business development company based in Hampshire. It specialises in marketing, internet marketing and PR.
The challenge
Managing Director Tina Webb explains:
The qualities and skills of the people working for us are absolutely fundamental to the success of the company. We implemented a work experience scheme to combine the practical experience of the workforce in the company with fresh, innovative ideas brought in by the placement student.
The benefit is threefold; we want our students to enjoy their placement and to learn both job skills and life skills, therefore, we endeavor to add real 'value' for the student. The existing workforce learn the latest techniques within the internet marketing discipline and, lastly, the combination of both of these ensure that we have satisfied clients every time.
Placement benefits
- New ideas into the organisation.
- The regular shake-up of the dynamics of our small business when a new person joins.
- Cost-effective method of bringing the latest knowledge and technology to the business.
Results
Our placement students have bought real value to the organisation with innovative and fresh ideas, techniques and skills. Examples of tangible business benefits include:
- increased Tri-Synergy's product/service offering;
- developed a new training manual used with all employees;
- significantly increased clients' businesses and hence secured the client on an ongoing basis for the company.
