Fighting climate change
As Radar Healthcare helps organisations reduce their reliance on paper and increases their efficiencies, we understand the environmental effect that digitisation has on society – both positively and negatively. At Radar Healthcare, we believe that we can always do more to improve on our environmental status and we join with our partners and suppliers to put those priorities into action.
• Reduce our carbon footprint through revising our use of fossil fuels and switching to low-carbon alternatives where possible, e.g., downsizing our office space to lower energy use.
• Select office space that is built and managed in line with the code for a Sustainable Build Environment, monitoring asset performance and building management
• Reduce paper consumption.
• Increase recycling for ourselves and that of our customers via purchasing with waste avoidance, closing the recycling loop.
• Work towards zero waste to landfill through waste reduction, reuse, and recycling.
• Encourage “green travel plans” and continue to encourage online conferencing; reduce single occupancy vehicle use to our partner sites through travel plans; encourage walking, cycling, and using public transport for commuting and business travel for our staff.
• Increase our activity in sustainable projects in the UK and abroad.
• Training and supporting staff to work within the company software framework and to reduce their personal lifestyle impacts.
• Communicating our environmental policy and strategy to staff and stakeholders to raise awareness of their own responsibilities and commitment to environmental improvements
• Influencing sponsored events to be carbon neutral and low waste. - Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery
As part of our support to help people in the local community to manage and recover from the impacts of Covid we have focused on our volunteering and sponsorship of local charities at the Leeds South and East Foodbank, where we volunteer our time to help them to combat food poverty and ensure our neighbours are cared for during their more difficult moments.
Quotation from Leeds South and East Foodbank, operated by the Trussell Trust
• “The very generous Radar Team has already organised several inventive fundraisers for us, and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership, helping us to walk alongside people who need our support and cheering them on to find solutions at this exceptionally challenging time.”
As well as volunteering, we have raised £2000 for the upkeep of the charity
The money was raised through a charity auction and a virtual fitness challenge, with donations from our partners given during our Radar Healthcare’s Heroes Awards – an event where we celebrate health and care workers in the industry. As well as this, we use our social media and public relations channels to create promotion for the charity, gaining coverage and raising awareness for the Foodbank.
Additionally, at Radar we are passionate about creating a supportive, informed environment to promote better mental health within the workplace. The pandemic was a challenging time for people’s mental health; therefore, we made the decision to enrol more staff on the Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA) course, increasing the percentage of Radar’s Mental Health First Aiders from 2.5% of staff to 17.5% of staff. - Tackling economic inequality

Acknowledging the great advantages of apprenticeships, Radar Healthcare is enrolled onto the government apprenticeship scheme, using CIMA training through Kaplan. Not only do we look to hire apprentices but have actively encouraged our own staff to join to train them in qualifications – this has been successful with one of our software testers now training to become a software developer. - Equal opportunity
-
Equal opportunity
Radar Healthcare aim to treat all our employees with dignity and respect, offer equal and fair opportunities within recruitment and training, and ensure our working environment is free from discrimination, harassment and bullying. We oppose all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination, on any grounds including:
Age
Disability
Gender
Sexual orientation
Race
Religion
UK origin group (Scottish/Irish/English/Welsh etc.)
We do not tolerate harassment or bullying within our workplace. All employees, whether part-time, full-time or temporary, will be treated fairly and with respect.
All employees will be helped and encouraged to develop their full potential and the talents selection for employment, promotion, training or any other benefit will be on the basis of aptitude and ability. In accordance with the guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission, our equal opportunities policy is based around understanding of and adherence to the following laws on equality:
Equal Pay Act 1970
Sex Discrimination Act 1975
Race Relations Act 1976
Disability Discrimination Act 1995
Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003
Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003
Age Discrimination Regulations 2006.
Radar Healthcare is a multicultural organisation and has an open attitude to employment. Every possible step will be taken to ensure that job applicants are treated equally and fairly and that decisions on recruitment, selection, and job training are based solely on objective and job-related criteria. No job applicant receives less favourable treatment than another on racial, age, sex, disability, religion and sexual orientation grounds. - Wellbeing

Working with healthcare professionals during the pandemic really focused our efforts on acknowledging mental health within our own workplace.
As a result, Radar Healthcare enrolled more staff onto the Mental Health First Aiders course, increasing the percentage of trained MHFA’s in our staff from 2.5% to 17.5%.
To ensure all staff know about this and how to contact them, as well as our other campaigns such as Better Mental Health, we send out monthly internal newsletters. These emails also provide a communication to keep everyone updated on our different teams. As staff are often remotely working, it is important to us at Radar Healthcare that every member of our team feels like they belong.
Our social events are one of our more obvious ways in connecting with staff now we often work from home, and they continue to be popular with all. To ensure our social events benefit not just us, we try to hold these in local independent venues and combine them with fundraising opportunities.
Our flexible working culture allows people to work when they can, where the can. We have seen how beneficial remote working has been for our staff and so to honour that, we offer agile working options as well as our office for those who prefer to work in a more defined area.
Externally, we host a weekly podcast which discusses key topics such as loneliness, depression and other mental health topics, hoping to shed light on the subject and make people feel less alone in the process.
