Somebody who feels great and has the support they need is in a better position to engage, be productive and succeed. To build on this, we have set ourselves the target that by 2025 we will improve how we care for all our people through offering everyone at our sites access to mental and physical health initiatives, tools and training and by reducing our total recordable injury rate by 50%. We launched our ‘Happier, Healthier Habits’ campaign in 2020 to foster connections between colleagues and offer guidance on physical and mental health. This initiative was continued in 2021 through ‘Happier Healthier Habits Circles’. In addition, a second series called ‘Connecting for #climatepositivity’ invited employees to explore how building connections with each other and nature can lead to many positive outcomes such as better relationships, more positive conversations and the ability to find calm and resilience. This approach of building connections is also seen with ‘Health & Wellbeing Communities of Practice’, launched globally during the year as a forum for sharing common interest and best practice in health and wellbeing initiatives. Involving employees from North America, Latin America, the UK and Dubai, topics included strategies for better sleep, demonstrations of cooking to aid mental health, and the benefits of family activities. Many more local initiatives focusing on physical and mental health and wellbeing took place, including badminton tournaments in China, health coaching in North America, a ‘workout for good’ challenge in Singapore, and a 21-day mindfulness challenge in Oceania. Also as part of our global health and wellbeing programme, we added a further initiative to encourage connections through an app available in the nine key languages of our sites. ‘Coffee Talk’ is designed to connect colleagues and help widen the circles and networks in all business areas. It is important to create a community and to promote a positive work environment – just as it is important for individual health and wellbeing.
