In this article we explain who are the service providers for the Worker Engagement Technology (WE Tech), when to use them and how to contact them.
Once the facility decides to include WE Tech in their verification (mandatory for Full Virtual Verification), the facility must select an SLCP approved WE Tech Service Provider (WE TSP). The WE TSP will deploy the Worker Engagement Question Set across the facility following a specific set of rules.
Current approved WE Tech Service Providers:
- &Wider
