The Make A Difference Awards aim to recognise and celebrate colleagues and employers who have really made a difference over the past year to workplace culture, mental health and wellbeing.
Tobermore has an appointed committee dedicated to Culture and Wellbeing within the company. The committee are responsible for organising two calendars annually: one dedicated to employee engagement and one to employee wellbeing initiatives within the business. Staff events in the past have included a day trip to the horse racing at Down Royal, Northern Ireland football games, go-karting, ‘Prosecco & Paint’ and family cinema trips.
Fostering employee wellbeing is good for both people and the organisation. Promoting wellbeing can help prevent stress and create positive working environments where individuals and organisations can thrive. Tobermore recognise that positive health and wellbeing can be a core enabler of employee engagement and organisational performance.
We believe these initiatives enhance our culture within Tobermore by enhancing engagement, team bonding, overall employee wellbeing and creating an excellent workplace environment.
Through our well being initiatives we aim to focus on a wide array of themes which many of our staff can related. March 2022 saw ‘Healthy Heart month’ where local PT Chris Bradley held a webinar to employees to educate them on how to lead a healthy lifestyle, following this Tobermore employees shared their favourite healthy recipes which were then amalgamated into a ‘Tobermore Recipe Book’ with protein and calorie information, photographs of the creation and a range of social media accounts to follow for more recipes to cater to a wide range of dietary requirements.
In October National Mental Health awareness day, Tobermore invited Frank Diamond from ALPS , an organisation providing specific front-line services for Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Prevention to talk to staff about mental resilience, the power of connection and positivity. Staff feedback was positive with one attendee commenting ‘I felt truly inspired by Franks story and words about how transformative mental resilience and wellbeing can be.’
In addition to internal wellbeing promotion, Tobermore have a health and wellbeing app for employees; BHSF Connect provides employees instant access to a wide range of Health & wellbeing services all in one easy to use app. Confidential support, 24/7 counselling line, carer support, GP Service, legal helpline, smarter spending, wellbeing checks, cyber security and a dedicated online support service for meditation and self-help workbooks are some of the services employees can avail from.
