Health and wellbeing
Work is a big part of our lives. Typically 73% of the adult population are in employment and spend around 60% of their waking hours in the workplace or commuting. With this in mind, it's important to ensure that we take an active approach to our own health and wellbeing in work (and out!)
We are absolutely committed to promoting the good health and wellbeing of our staff, and offer a range of initiatives and resources including:
- Mental health support -24/7 emotional support, plus independent counselling provided by our employee assistance programme, Vivup

- Team and line manager support - bespoke team workshops, coaching and development opportunities, and training sessions for line managers
- Domestic abuse support - a range of signposting routes and guidance on how to support colleagues
