Health and Wellbeing
**Inspiring and enabling our colleagues to be the best they can be starts with supporting their overall wellbeing and creating a culture where all our colleagues feel able to seek support and have access to the right resources **
Wellbeing underpins one of our core values, that we are all colleagues together, one team, and we have a comprehensive learning curriculum to raise awareness and support colleague wellbeing.
Throughout any given year we host a variety of events in support of Health and Wellbeing, encouraging all our colleagues to reflect on their mental wellbeing and take the right steps for them to feel healthier and happier, which is why we established our new Asda Wellbeing Inclusion Network, which helps us understand how we can better support our colleagues.
- Supporting Colleague Emotional Wellbeing & Mental HealthLooking after mental and emotional wellbeing is just as important as looking after physical health. We encourage colleagues to think about their wellbeing every day, not only when times are difficult, helping to build resilience, stay balanced and feel supported both at work and at home. Open conversations are an important part of breaking down stigma around mental health. Our Wellbeing Inclusion Network gives colleagues a space to connect and share experiences, while our wellbeing learning helps colleagues and leaders build the knowledge and confidence to support themselves and others.
- Help@Hand from UnumThrough Help@hand, colleagues can access a range of confidential health and wellbeing support designed to help them and their families through everyday challenges and important life moments. Support includes unlimited remote GP appointments and mental health support, physiotherapy consultations and lifestyle coaching, alongside expert guidance on financial, legal and family matters. Eligible partners and children can also access support, helping colleagues look after their family’s wellbeing as well as their own.
- Ensuring Colleague Financial WellbeingFinancial wellbeing can have a significant impact on overall health and how colleagues feel day to day. Providing practical support, guidance and resources can help colleagues feel more confident, in control of their money and financially secure. Through Stream, colleagues can access a range of financial wellbeing tools, including workplace savings, flexible pay, financial coaching and workplace loans, alongside financial education, budgeting tools and discounts.
