Wellbeing

We recognise the benefits and impact that good health and wellbeing has on our employees.

Wellbeing is the state of being comfortable, healthy or happy and can be influenced by a range of factors including:

  • Career and work factors
  • Emotional factors
  • Financial factors
  • Health factors
  • Social factors

Whilst these factors are both work and non-work related, we will create a workplace that supports our employees in improving and maintaining their own health and wellbeing.
