Golding Homes’ Employee Health and Wellbeing Programme wins UK & Ireland Employee Engagement Award
Golding Homes scooped the Wellbeing Award at the UK & Ireland Employee Engagement Awards, in association with People Insight, for its health and wellbeing programme. These awards recognise those companies that put workforce engagement at the heart of their business strategy.
The winners were announced at a sold out awards ceremony at Wembley Stadium on 26 January 2017.
Sam Fuller, Managing Director at The Wellbeing Project and also one of the judges on the panel said: “Congratulations to Golding Homes, winner of the wellbeing award at The Employee Engagement Awards. It was a tough category to judge with so many high calibre entrants.”
Golding Homes launched its Golding Wellbeing programme two years ago with the aim of engaging its employees in a range of activities to improve their health and general wellbeing. Since then, a project team has successfully engaged staff through a range of awareness days, health months and lunchtime wellbeing sessions, which have inspired many employees to sign up to the gym, take up fitness challenges or give up smoking. The company has also seen a 50% reduction in its sickness absence levels since the programme began.
Jillie Smithies, Director of Operations for Golding Homes said: “We are both honoured and delighted to have won this prestigious award. For a relatively small investment, the Golding Wellbeing programme has been a fantastic success in terms of the impact on employee wellbeing and reduced absence levels.”
