As a family-owned company, we recognize that all our employees have busy lives outside of work. Busy lives that deserve attention, respect, and support while balancing personal and work commitments.
Those lives sometimes make unusual demands, so we offer various leave options to help our people respond to major life events. If the stresses of life are starting to show, our range of wellness services (included in our employee and family assistance plan and other healthcare providers) can help to show a way forward, whether the issue is elder care, leadership stress, or social issues. In addition to our more formal support structures, we have designated Health Navigators – volunteer colleagues from our Canada team - who champion wellness initiatives and resources in our company.
We’re taking a careful look at what our physical business environment looks like, reimagining many of our facilities as collaborative working spaces. At the same time, we’re following an activity-based model and creating spaces for the specific working needs of our people, with dedicated areas for lively cooperation and calm individual focus – allowing not just more efficient work but reduced stress.
We recognize, too, that the way people work has changed in recent years. Technology has made new patterns of work possible and, where they’re genuinely feasible, we see no reason not to consider them. We are not a remote company, and we do value the time our people spend working face to face - but flexible working, and a robust system to facilitate it, are now part of our way of doing business.
