Siderise wins Gold Award at Mind’s Workplace Well-Being Awards

Mind’s Workplace Well-Being Index is a benchmark of best policy and practice, celebrating the good work employers are doing to promote and support positive mental health and providing key recommendations on the specific areas where there’s room for improvement.

Every employer depends on having healthy and productive employees on the basis that valued and supported members of staff are far more likely to perform better and achieve peak performance.

Mental health problems can be common among employees. Mind surveyed more than 42,000 employees across the 114 employers participating in the Index and included an additional section on the impact of COVID-19.

As a company, Siderise is committed to ensuring the well-being of its staff at all levels of the company. This is done through a variety of company policies and initiatives including a Stress Policy and Flexible Working Policy and those covering workplace grievances, as well as a general company-wide understanding on the importance of good mental health and well-being and supportive culture.

Positivity about the workplace

Adam Turk, CEO at Siderise Insulation, informed Fire Safety Matters: “We’re thrilled to have gained this recognition from Mind, but mostly we are happy to see that our staff feel positively about their workplace and the support they receive. Without their talent and hard work, we wouldn’t be the global business that we are today.”

Turk added: “Of course, taking part in the Index was not just about seeing what we have done well, but also looking at where we can improve. We’re reviewing the suggestions highlighted by Mind and our staff to ensure we are continually working to make Siderise a happy and successful business for its employees.”

Emma Mamo, head of workplace well-being at Mind, responded: “It inspires me to see how all of the organisations participating in the Index are taking positive steps to support the mental health of their employees. In the last year, the coronavirus pandemic has affected all our lives; the way we work has fundamentally changed, whether that is working on the frontline or working at home. Employers therefore faced, and continue to face, significant challenges in effectively supporting the wellbeing of their people in this new and uncertain context. That’s why, this year more than ever, we were delighted to celebrate the employers making mental health a priority for their organisation through our Workplace Well-Being Awards.”
