“Aramark worked closely with TAQA over a 12-week mobilisation period, providing weekly updates to our Operations and Contract team as well as conducting regular meetings with the team offshore to ensure a seamless transition occurred. The management of TUPE staff and professionalism displayed throughout was excellent. Aramark followed up on mobilising both HSEQ and Operational Management visits to all sites from inception, understanding the importance of familiarising themselves with the layouts and rig operations in order to adapt and personalise a service appropriate to the assets.
To ensure the new Aramark team were engaged with, Understanding the criticality of properly managing People through change, not only were a large number of employees engaged with directly offshore during mobilisation visits, they conducted a series of onshore induction days at their HQ in Aberdeen welcoming the TUPE staff into the Aramark team. Regular engagement with the OIM’s offshore supported the transition and onward delivery of the contract. The mobilisation and transition covered 5 rigs in total, 4 in NNS, 1 in CNS. During the transition Aramark ensured that all employees were inducted, with minimal disruption to the rig as well as deploying a highly experienced Aramark Chef Manager to each site on the handover date to support with the safe transition of service. Aramark secured a 98% TUPE transfer rate and no recordable incidents during the mobilisation and transition. Since the transition, Aramark continues to drive performance, suggest innovations and measures to ensure we get the best value from our partner. Our offshore teams remain extremely satisfied with the provision of service.”
