Freebridge Community Housing is holding its first Week of Wellbeing to support the wellbeing of its employees.
From 18th – 22nd June, a series of events and activities will take place focusing on how individuals can improve their Career; Physical; Mental; Social; Economic, and Community Wellbeing.
The week is part of the housing organisation’s bespoke and targeted approach to wellbeing which aims to meet the needs of employees and the business, and maximise available resources.
During the week, employees will be able to access coaching sessions provided by fully trained coaches. Health checks will also be on offer and smoking cessation and drink aware packs will be available.
The Freebridge stress management toolkit will be launched and employees will be able to try out relaxation techniques. And ‘Manage your Money’ advice sessions will be held where employees can gain an insight into how to make better use of their money.
Tony Hall, Chief Executive said: “We are committed to supporting the wellbeing of our employees. We recognise the importance of having a happy, healthy and engaged workforce for the long-term satisfaction of our employees and the continued success of the business.
“The Week of Wellbeing provides us with an opportunity to stop and think about ourselves and consider ways to improve where we want to. We have a long-term commitment to employee wellbeing and will ensure that we support this on an ongoing basis through a dedicated action plan.
“Our targeted approach demonstrates that smaller companies such as ours can make a real investment in this without huge financial expenditure. We understand that good employee wellbeing has genuine and tangible business benefits. Our focus has been on developing a programme that is right for our employees, using the existing networks and resources we have access to.”
Freebridge’s employee programme complements customer wellbeing initiatives such as Mind Mental Health First Aid training and Do Something Different behavioural influencing training.
Freebridge Community Housing, which operates in West Norfolk, employs around 180 employees across a range of business functions.
