This year we launched a Group wellbeing programme – “One Benchmark, A Healthier You” – to ensure our people are the best they can be in mind and body. We partner with international ICAS Employee Health and Wellbeing providers who delivered a series of webinars in English, Thai, and Spanish for our people around the world.
We also hosted our annual Global Health, Safety and Wellbeing Day which gained excellent engagement amongst all our people, in person and online. Participants were asked to identify positive and negative factors that impact their physical and mental health in the workplace.
Short and long-term actions to improve wellbeing and strengthen the positive factors were discussed and put into an action plan. The findings were shared on our intranet platform achieving 80% engagement.
To further support the mental health of our employees, we conducted Global Mental Health Awareness training for our managers during the period. Over a third of managers have now participated in in-person training. We have 27 Mental Health First Aiders trained to support our employees and who cover all our sites.
