Fighting climate change
We deliver additional environmental benefits in contract performance by working towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions. We currently partner with Ecologi to establish a ‘Virtual Forest’ for each client, showing a live count of trees planted to reduce our carbon footprint and support biodiversity. We strive for environmental protection and improvement by influencing staff to hold all project meetings online by default, reducing CO2 emissions that would otherwise be generated by travelling to meetings. We influence our suppliers to have published commitments to support environmental protection and improvement. We influence our logistics team to continue using plastic packaging in our introductory boxes that is 100% biodegradable and recyclable.Covid-19 recovery
We create employment and return to work opportunities by reviewing our commitment to Diversity and Inclusion at the beginning of every year and scrupulously encouraging applications from those from disadvantaged backgrounds, including individuals left affected by COVID on LinkedIn and our website. We retrain employees to engage with cutting edge machine learning models, sophisticated customer service software, and health-based digital infrastructure to address skills shortages and enhance competitiveness in high growth sectors. We support people and communities to recover by deploying our clinical in-reach team to help identify patients worst affected by or shielding due to COVID-19 to our respiratory pathway. We involve local stakeholders and users in service design through one quarterly consultation with clinicians and patients on choice of medical devices and development of standard operating procedures for COVID-19.Tackling economic inequality
We create opportunities for entrepreneurship by advertising our supply chain opportunities openly on Contracts Finder every quarter , ensuring contracting opportunities are available to new and growing businesses. We create employment and training opportunities for those who face barriers to employment by promoting our work placements in local colleges and schools with low attainment beginning every quarter, and offering routes to full employment through our placements. We support educational attainment by providing a Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship scheme targeted towards individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, providing practical training to address skills gaps in business and resulting in a fully funded, recognised qualification. Support one apprenticeship per contract per year. We support educational attainment through monthly HEKA subscription, providing access to upskilling courses to all employees. We create a diverse supply chain by enlisting our Head of Logistics to conduct research at the beginning of every quarter into new businesses, start-ups, VCSEs, and businesses owned by entrepreneurs who are women, veterans, minorities, or disabled.Equal opportunity
We increase representation of disabled people in the contract workforce through targeted recruitment for our remote patient monitoring team, which allows nurses who have sustained chronic injury, burnout, or physical health conditions to work flexibly and remotely. Our clinical team already employs several clinicians that meet these criteria. We support disabled people in developing new skills relevant to their work. For instance, we currently upskill disabled nurses the clinical governance and digital capabilities to deliver next-generation virtual monitoring systems. Our training programmes offer flexible hours and work from home arrangements to foster an inclusive workplace and promote retention. For each partnership we launch, one project manager will spend two days per month working towards a PRINCE2 qualification, with training time fully paid, supporting skill development and career progression.Wellbeing
We support health and wellbeing through monthly Heka allowance for counselling and fitness. We help manage stress by promoting our regular office yoga, mindfulness and meditation sessions, contributing to a relaxed workplace.
