Our commitment to the physical and mental wellbeing of our colleagues led to the creation of a Wellbeing Committee, made up of trained Wellbeing Champions from across TH March Group’s branches.
As an employee-owned business, we believe that looking after our people is fundamental to our long-term success. Employee ownership strengthens our focus on shared responsibility, ensuring wellbeing is not just a policy, but a collective priority shaped and supported by our teams.
Established in 2018, the Wellbeing Committee helps foster a workplace culture that promotes health, happiness and fulfilment. Wellbeing Champions bring their own experience and training to support colleagues, encourage participation in healthy social activities, and signpost relevant services and initiatives.
The committee also develops and delivers campaigns and activities to raise awareness of key health and wellbeing topics, with all colleagues encouraged to take part and help shape their effectiveness.
This ongoing commitment has been recognised through TH March achieving Silver status in the Wellbeing at Work Award programme, highlighting our progress in creating a healthier, more supportive working environment for everyone.
The Wellbeing Committee have enhanced employee support and wellbeing through several initiatives. To date, these have included:
Whilst Legislation for MHFA provision in the workplace is not yet in place, TH March Group wants to demonstrate that our organisation views mental health as equally important to physical health and create and nurture an open and supportive culture around mental health.
An effective, sustainable approach to employee wellbeing involves the whole organisation and should be backed up with policies and procedures alongside specific training. Therefore, we have a team of 18 dedicated Mental Health First Aiders to help TH March staff deal with whatever challenges lie ahead. 14% of our workforce companywide have received formal training.
The fully qualified Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA) have been trained by MHFA England to notice signs of mental ill health. They have been taught how to listen in a non-judgemental way and break down barriers for people who are struggling with a range of different issues. They can then signpost colleagues to the right support at the right time and our employees can feel fully supported.
Having this dedicated team of Mental Health First Aiders, as well as our Employee Assistance Programmes available to all TH March staff, means we can continue to work together through whatever challenges we meet.
We are proud to announce that TH March Group have signed the Mindful Employer Charter for Employers Positive about Mental Health.
