Amey<\/a> is launching an internal Bounceback Innovation Challenge to develop solutions that will help the industry better cope with the challenges posed by the coronavirus<\/h2>\n

As the government continues to ease restrictions for businesses and communities, the social and economic impacts<\/a> are likely to continue for some time. With most of Amey\u2019s workforce classed as key workers many of its sites have remained operational, but with restricted ways of working.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0the country\u00a0enters\u00a0a \u2018new normal\u2019,\u00a0innovative methods\u00a0of\u00a0operating\u00a0are\u00a0needed to\u00a0ensure contractors\u00a0and employees\u00a0can\u00a0remain safe and productive<\/a>.\u00a0Amey\u00a0is helping to tackle this\u00a0by\u00a0launching\u00a0a\u00a0campaign\u00a0to find solutions\u00a0that will allow\u00a0people\u00a0to\u00a0continue working while coronavirus is still in the community.<\/p>\n

It is hoped that the Bounceback Innovation Challenge will generate meaningful, deliverable ideas for how Amey and its stakeholders can recover, improve and transform using the otherwise devastating Covid-19 crisis as a catalyst for change.<\/p>\n

Amey is looking for ideas such as distancing apps, redesigned PPE<\/a>, and other solutions to help support physical and mental wellbeing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amey has opened the Bounceback Innovation Challenge to employees and selected members of its supply chain community.<\/p>\n

Creativity and fresh thinking<\/h3>\n

Amey\u00a0strategy & development director,\u00a0John Faulkner, said:\u00a0\u201cThe\u00a0coronavirus\u00a0is presenting\u00a0the industry with unprecedented challenges.<\/p>\n

“We need creativity and fresh thinking to revolutionise the way we operate.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople\u2019s health and safety need to be at the heart of how we do this, and we are looking to collaborate with supply chain and employees to find a way of getting through this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
