Investment in staff wellbeing
Brighouse-based fabricator Quickslide has announced a new Bupa Employee Assistance programme, as well as a new online HR and health and safety system.
The Bupa Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is a confidential mental health and wellbeing service that offers 24-hour counselling to all of Quickslide’s employees and any other individuals living in the same household, should they need it. Mental health awareness, and the ability to address personal or work-related issues, is a key priority for Quickslide.
Quickslide’s commercial directorClare Lumb said: “We’ve introduced the new Bupa Employee Assistance Programme because, primarily, we’re a people business and the well-being of everyone that works at Quickslide is of the utmost importance. By increasing awareness of mental health issues and putting measures in place to address them, we are not only living up to our responsibility to ensure that our staff are happy, but we also make the most of their potential, which in turn results in an increase in productivity.”
