Our goal is to create a thriving work environment that fosters the health, wellbeing and continuous development of every individual within our organisation.
We are confident that our commitment to promoting these principles will not only lead to a happier and more engaged workforce, but also fuel our organisation’s success and create a positive impact on the lives of our people.
We promote active employee involvement in our strategy and initiatives through three dedicated Employee Resource Groups, each addressing different aspects of health and wellbeing.
Wellbeing education & awareness.
Our approach to promoting wellbeing and psychological safety is to consistently and frequently raise awareness, educate, eradicate stigmas and create stimulus for conversation.
Events and initiatives over the last year held specifically for our colleagues, and in many cases our customers, included:
Webinars on ‘Understanding & Embracing Menopause’ and 'Men's Health' hosted by Vitality
Webinar from the charity ‘CoppaFeel’ during Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Webinar on ‘Expanding Workplace Safety: Tackling Sexual Harassment Through a Health & Safety Lens’ hosted by The Consent Collective
Stress awareness campaign: Focused on the causes and relievers of workplace stress
Mental Health Awareness Week Campaign: An internal initiative on 'Looking after ourselves and those around us'
World Cancer Day: Awareness, support and fundraising campaign with a focus on breast and prostate cancer
In addition, through our benefits partner, Vitality, our employees are able to access a full health and wellbeing webinar programme.
