Prioritising the health and wellbeing of our team

The Silver Medway Workplace Wellbeing Award focuses on 8 key themes, including:

  • Managing Absence and Turnover
  • Musculoskeletal (MSK) and Screening
  • Stop Smoking
  • Mental Wellbeing and Stress
  • Alcohol and Substance Misuse
  • Healthy Eating and Healthy Weight
  • Physical Activity and Active Travel
  • Environment and Sustainability

 

From these 8 key themes, at least 15 pledges must be met to receive the Silver Award.

Commenting following receiving conformation of BritNed’s Silver Award, Adelaide Mupazviriho, Senior SHE Advisor at BritNed said:

‘Our workforce is our greatest asset, and as employers, we all have a duty of care towards our staff. Creating a healthy workplace can have lots of benefits for the company, including reducing staff absence, but more importantly, prioritising the health and wellbeing of each individual at BritNed was the motivating factor for working towards these awards.

‘The variety of the key themes in the Medway Workplace Wellbeing Programme covers the diversity of the roles at BritNed, from the office-based staff through to those on site at the converter stations, both in Great Britain and the Netherlands. Whilst we are proud of achieving the Silver award, we will now turn our attention to making further improvements and working towards the Gold award.

‘As with everything at BritNed, this success was a team effort, but I’d like to especially thank Robert Warburton, Dispatch Operator at BritNed as he led the process and without his dedication, I doubt we would have reached this milestone so quickly.’
