HiThrive Awarded the Advanced Good Work Pledge: Celebrating Better Work
I’m excited to share some great news - we’ve just received confirmation that we’ve been awarded the Advanced Good Work Pledge. We’re a North East-based company, and as a workforce-oriented business, we believe that the key to success is providing our employees with a work environment that enables them to thrive. In this blog post, I want to tell you a bit more about what the Good Work Pledge is all about, and how we’ve been working to achieve the Advanced status.
The Good Work Pledge is a scheme that encourages employers to put in place measures aimed at improving the quality of work provided to employees. It is an important initiative that helps employers put in place practical solutions that contribute to the well-being and engagement of employees. The Pledge is based on 5 pillars that focus on key areas such as valuing and rewarding the workforce, promoting health and well-being, effective communications, developing a balanced workforce, and social responsibility.
At HiThrive, we’ve always been passionate about creating a work environment that values and rewards our employees, so we’ve worked hard to ensure that we meet the criteria set out by the Good Work Pledge. Our efforts have been validated by the recognition of the Advanced status, which demonstrates our commitment to creating a better workplace. Our actions have included steps such as investing in employee training and development, creating a supportive work culture, and offering flexible arrangements to support work-life balance.
The cost of living crisis has created a challenging time for many businesses, but we’ve been committed to supporting our employees throughout this time. At HiThrive, we’ve introduced a range of measures designed to ensure our employees’ well-being, including mental health support, regular check-ins, and cashback on paid medical appointments. We believe that by prioritising the well-being of our employees, we can create a positive and productive work culture.
Effective communication is another key pillar of the Good Work Pledge, and at HiThrive, we’ve invested in creating an open and transparent work environment. We regularly ask for feedback from our employees, and we’re always looking for ways to improve. We believe that by fostering open communication, we can create a better workplace that empowers our employees to succeed.
In conclusion, we’re delighted to have been awarded the Advanced Good Work Pledge, which recognises our commitment to creating a better workplace for our employees. As a North East-based company, we’re passionate about contributing to the betterment of our region, and we firmly believe that the key to success is providing our employees with a work environment that enables them to thrive. We’ll continue to work hard to maintain our status and work towards making the North East an even better place to work. If you’re an SME business owner looking for support in improving the quality of work for your employees, then we’d love to hear from you.
