What they did
Asidua implemented a wide spectrum of initiatives to look at
all aspects of employee health and well-being. These include
An external provider delivered training sessions to both Management and
employees on the subject of stress management and awareness. Management
training focused on enabling managers to be aware of their communications with
others and how to identify stress triggers in order to manage this
effectively. Employee sessions focused
on how individuals could identify and reduce their stress triggers.
A system was put in place to ensure employees are managed effectively with
objectives and training needs being reviewed together with regular feedback on
performance. Training for both line
managers and employees is delivered on a regular basis.
Asidua offers Preventative
Healthcare scheme scheme to all employees, the scheme includes a confidential
counselling service – on issues from work related stress, to bereavement and
debt management.
Asidua has also
worked in conjunction with the Financial Services Authority in order to have an
independent financial adviser come on site to deliver Financial Awareness
Sessions to employees.
At the centre of
Asidua’s HR Processes, is a focus on work-life balance initiatives. This includes the operation of a flexible
hours system, where employees can start and finish work, and take their lunch
breaks at times that suit both their personal circumstances and business need.
Asidua provide a
fortnightly breakfast for employees. The
menu options provided focus on a balanced diet i.e. fresh fruit, yoghurts,
scones, fruit juice, etc. As well as
providing food for employees, the “Breakfast Club” also provides the
opportunity to network and socialise with wider Asidua colleagues that
employees may not have the opportunity to interact with in the course of their
normal duties. We feel this is essential
in fostering an inclusive and participative culture.
Asidua facilitates
and pays for a confidential health screening service for employees on an annual
basis.
