When you are responsible for organising Display Screen Equipment assessments across your business, one of the first questions you are likely to ask is simple: can I have some available dates?
It is a fair question. You want clarity, your employees want certainty, and as a facilities or HR professional, you are trying to keep everything running smoothly. However, in practice, offering fixed dates for DSE assessments is not as helpful as it might seem.
Why fixed dates do not work in practice
DSE assessors are constantly scheduling and delivering assessments. Their diaries are changing daily, sometimes hourly, as bookings are confirmed, moved or completed.
Because of this, any availability we provide in advance is only accurate at that exact moment. By the time those dates are passed through internal teams and shared with the end user, there is a strong chance they are no longer available.
This can lead to unnecessary back and forth, delays in getting assessments booked, and frustration for everyone involved.
A more efficient way to book assessments
To avoid this, we use a more direct and flexible approach.
Once you are ready to proceed, we pass the end user’s contact details to one of our qualified assessors. The assessor then contacts the individual directly to arrange a date and time that works for both of them.
Once the assessment is booked, we are notified and everything is logged accordingly.
Why this approach works better
For busy HR teams and facilities managers, this method removes a lot of the admin burden. There is no need to act as a middle person relaying dates back and forth.
For employees, it means they can arrange a time that fits around their working day without delays.
And for the business as a whole, it ensures assessments are completed more quickly, helping you stay compliant and support employee wellbeing without unnecessary hold ups.
A smoother experience for everyone
We have found this to be the most efficient and reliable way to organise DSE assessments, particularly for organisations managing multiple users across different teams or locations.
If you are looking to streamline your assessment process and reduce delays, this approach keeps things simple, responsive and effective.
