Case Study: Proactive DSE Management for AutoTrader

AutoTrader, with a large and growing workforce, initially had a reactive approach to DSE, addressing issues as they arose. Seeking a more structured solution, they approached several providers for a comprehensive DSE program.

  • Challenge:

    AutoTrader needed a proactive, fully managed DSE solution tailored to their diverse business needs, including assessments for office, homeworking, remote working, and new & expectant mothers.


  • Solution:

    DSE Assessments Ltd offered a bespoke suite of online assessments, implementing a robust program across AutoTrader. This included:

    Office DSE Assessments
    Homeworking and Remote Working Assessments
    New & Expectant Mother Assessments

  • Implemntation:

    In early 2020, DSE Assessments Ltd prepared for a new round of online assessments for approximately 1,000 employees. The COVID-19 outbreak necessitated a rapid shift to homeworking assessments. DSE Assessments Ltd quickly developed a ‘Temporary Homeworking’ assessment, providing guidance and ensuring compliance during the pandemic.

    As AutoTrader transitioned to a ‘Connected Working’ policy, DSE Assessments Ltd created a new online assessment to support flexible working between the office and home, implementing a fully managed program.


  • Impact:

    In partnership with DSE Assessments Ltd, AutoTrader has significantly raised awareness about ergonomic practices, ensuring employee welfare and reducing the risk of workplace injuries.
