Wellbeing

Wilson Vale is committed to providing a supportive working environment that maintains and promotes the health and wellbeing of all its employees.

 

We recognise that individuals can experience stress when they cannot cope with various pressures in or out of work and we all vary in our capacity to cope with different types of pressure. Some levels of pressure, even when high, can be motivating and a challenge and when we can respond effectively to pressure we are likely to achieve job satisfaction. However, pressures at a level that we cannot cope with, or in some cases too little pressure or challenge, are likely to result in stress for the individual.

 

Wilson Vale is committed to implementing a wellbeing policy for all its employees throughout the organisation. This includes improving the organisational environment through effective and sensitive management, enabling individuals to cope successfully with the demands and pressures of work, and providing support for employees whose health and wellbeing are affected by stress or pressure.

 

The Company wellbeing aims are:

 

• To manage stress through effective and sensitive management.

• To undertake risk assessment for an individual job when raised to define potential ‘stressors’.

• To develop working practices that reduce the factors, which may lead to stress in the workplace.

• To develop procedures to manage problems that do occur and to support where possible individuals who are stressed.

• To increase awareness of stress and methods to combat it.

• To assist employees in managing stress in themselves and others.

• To monitor procedures and outcomes, and to assess the effectiveness of the policy.

• To provide a counselling service through our Occupational Health provider.
