HR Update
It is now a year since the Covid-19
virus took hold. The impact on
our people has been immense:
lives lost, health, the impact on
mental wellbeing and wellbeing in
general. The challenges you have
faced have been countless to -
home-schooling, childcare, isolation,
zoom fatigue to name a few.
We are doing all we can to ensure we treat people
fairly and support you in these difficult times.
With this crisis we have also seen opportunity for
positivity. We have had positive sales numbers
and we have put our people first, your wellbeing
has become of utmost importance to us along
with ensuring we are compassionate, caring and
seeing you all as the individuals you are; allowing
for your individual circumstances.
Having recently undertaken your My Review, this
will help form your development plan for the
forthcoming year with the help of your Line
Managers and me as your HRBP. We have also
forged a mental wellbeing agenda which brings
you to the forefront of what we do, enabling you
to have the tools needed to look after yourselves
and your families. The Senior Team will meet
later in Q2 to discuss your reviews and aspirations
as part of our Talent Review process.
With remote working a permanent feature, even
once we return to the office owing to our agile
working approach, I will once again urge you to
‘take 5’ and look after yourself. Make sure you
look after yourself and your wellbeing, use the
resources we have provided for you in regards to
wellbeing on the Larder and if you need to speak
to a Mental Health First Aider we have highlighted
in this edition who your Mental Health First Aiders
are along with their contact details.
