Wellbeing

Glantus are committed to building & developing a “great workplace” ethos, with a holistic approach to health & wellness. We’ve signed up to the ‘Mental Health at Work Commitment’. This is a simple framework that is based on the ‘Thriving at Work’ standards, pulling from the pledges and standards, using up-to-date research from UK employers and mental health experts. We believe the Mental Health at Work Commitment, is a roadmap to achieving better mental health outcomes for those within our company.

The six standards are;

1. Prioritise mental health in the workplace by developing and delivering a systematic programme of activity
2. Proactively ensure work design and organisational culture drive positive mental health outcomes
3. Promote an open culture around mental health
4. Increase organisational confidence and capability
5. Provide mental health tools and support
6. Increase transparency and accountability through internal and external reporting.

For 2022, we’re focused on the first two standards. Planned activity is aimed at increasing importance and awareness of mental health. This will include presentations & webinars from external providers, plus events like hackathons, Great Glantus Bake Off and summer step challenge.

We’re reviewing our current leave and time off policies, to assess the suitability of adding to our core policies. To include additional time off for staff who volunteer in their local communities, recognition of those undergoing fertility treatment and miscarriage and policies in relation to women’s health specifically in the areas of periods and menopause.

In line with the second standard, we’re reviewing all our company policies to ensure they take account of positive, mental health outcomes. e.g. asking all team members to complete a WFH Self-Assessment at least annually, this has been redesigned with a dedicated section on the importance of scheduled rest breaks and incorporating more movement into the working day.
