An Organisation People Trust It is imperative we establish trust in our organisation. We can’t do this by merely saying the right words. Instead, we continually invest in creating a sustainable, credible and fit-for-purpose operation. We Invest in Our People 42 Here at our Group, we are One Team. We rely and depend on each other to achieve the organisation’s goals. As an organisation that develops people, valuing and empowering ‘our people’ is at the heart of our operation. We are committed to supporting the well-being of our staff by providing benefits which support positive health and encourage a good work-life balance. These include access to a reduced gym membership, a cycle to work scheme and a healthcare benefits scheme. In addition, we try to support the mental health of our staff by raising awareness of mental health issues through mental health awareness days. We try to encourage good mental health in the workplace by providing guidance and support mechanisms to staff, such as access to a mental health support helpline. We embrace diversity within our organisation and intend that no job applicant or member of staff shall receive less favourable treatment because of any protected characteristic. In order to encourage our staff to continue to support our inclusive culture, all are required to undertake equality training within the first two months of employment. We are also positive about employing disabled people and have been awarded Level 2 Status under the Disability Confident Scheme.
