Jaywing entered The Investors in People 2024 Awards to showcase our commitment to prioritising employee wellbeing (mental, physical, financial, and familial) during a significant period of change marked by mergers, acquisitions, and restructures. We recognised that employee wellbeing is critical in fostering a positive workplace culture, which in turn has supported our business growth.
Highlighting our initiatives:
Merging different agencies and cultures in a challenging financial climate has been difficult. We have, however, remained dedicated to our wellbeing programs. We wanted to celebrate initiatives such as the My Health Advantage App, which offers tools for tracking mental health, and our Employee Support Fund, which has provided financial assistance to employees facing hardship. These efforts have been instrumental in supporting our employees through this transitional period.
Benchmarking:
Participating in this award gives us an opportunity to evaluate our wellbeing and people initiatives against best practices from other organisations. By benchmarking ourselves, we can identify new ways to improve and enhance our programmes, ensuring we remain at the forefront of employee support.
Engaged employees:
Our employees have been actively involved in designing and delivering our health and wellbeing programmes. Entering the Investors in People Awards allows us to recognise their contributions, fostering a sense of ownership and pride among our team. This recognition enhances engagement and motivation, ensuring our initiatives reflect their needs.
Leading by example:
We hope that our participation in this award sets a benchmark for other companies, particularly in the marketing industry, navigating similar challenges. By sharing our story, we aim to contribute to a broader conversation about the importance of health and wellbeing in the workplace, encouraging others to prioritise employee wellbeing as a core business strategy.
