Looking after colleagues is our number 1 priority
Every colleague has access to mental, physical and financial wellbeing support. It’s our most important business commitment, and it always will be.
We want all colleagues to feel their very best, so we offer tools and resources that help colleagues when they need it the most, including:
- Confidential counselling
- Free counselling helpline
- Doctor home visits
- Private medical care
- Financial support
- Free flu jabs
- Stop-smoking incentives
Learn all about upside down management
We flipped our management structure upside down, which gives our branch colleagues total authority to do whatever it takes to amaze our customers.
We call this ‘upside down management', where everyone in the business is there to support our branch colleagues to best serve our customers.
In short, we trust our colleagues to run our business as they see fit. We conduct a ‘happy index’ every year, which lets us know what our colleagues really think about how our business is being run and how they are being treated. This is crucial in our understanding of our colleagues and is reviewed by the Board every year to ensure we are looking after our people properly.
