Aligned with our focus on wellbeing, Lenus Health is supportive in enabling workers to work from wherever they would like to work; from home, from the office, or from elsewhere, subject to project constraints that may be in place e.g., security considerations etc. and their levels of comfort in being in and around other people, should they be shielding, either for themselves, or because they live with or care for family members who are vulnerable. Measures have been implemented to support our approach to the new future of work. In the office environment, work has been done to support effective social distancing. While the office is used less frequently than pre-pandemic, there is more considered use of the facility, either for individual or team based working. We now recruit from further afield and because we have embraced full remote and hybrid working, this has assisted us in recruiting the best possible talent while also positively improving work life balance. Many projects undertaken are also aligned in helping organisations and their service users to manage and recover from the impact of COVID-19. Undertaking projects that make a difference to people and wider society has a positive impact on health and wellbeing of workers.

  Tackling economic inequality

  All workers benefit from contracts with competitive remuneration, together with a package of benefits which are designed to both attract and retain talent.; ; For example, the annual salary review policy means that all workers can expect their salary to be increased automatically, in line with increases in cost of living, without having to request it. In addition, the company operates a Profit Related Reward (PRR) scheme. Whenever the company is in profit, a proportion of the profits are shared among all workers in the form of a bonus.; ; The annual budgeting process ensures provision for investment in workforce development. Costs are covered for continuous professional development activities, access to online learning resources and attendance at events. Opportunities for development to address skills gaps and achieve recognised qualifications are discussed regularly, including during monthly one-to-one check-in meetings between workers and line managers. ; ; The intranet carries detailed role descriptions for all jobs currently filled, new jobs being created and therefore requiring to be filled in the future. This open sharing of job descriptions assists workers in identifying pathways for career progression, both within their existing team and across other teams in the business too.

Lenus Health wants its workers to do their best work, feel proud about their work and know that they have the support to enable them to feel professionally fulfilled. As such, fulfilment is a component of job design which contributes to health and wellbeing, a dimension when interviewing candidates and a point-of-discussion between workers and line managers during monthly one-to-one check-in meetings and annual progress reviews. Exit interviews for employees who leave also provide an opportunity for us to identify what we’re doing well and where further improvements can be made to ensure that support for health and wellbeing is sustained. Exit interviews regularly highlight the positive support that employees know is in place, or from which they have benefited.
