Firm focus on staff well-being
ELLAND-HEADQUARTERED TECH firm Vapour Cloud has partnered with Champion Health to roll out a digital assessment programme to support the health and well-being of staff.
The move comes as Vapour Cloud opens its doors to enable a safe return to work for employees who want to come back, following the Covid-19 lockdown.
A 30-minute confidential health questionnaire has been deployed to the whole workforce, to better understand their current physical and psychological health.
Covering everything from nutrition, hydration and physical activity to anxiety, depression and stress in the workplace, the findings are instantly summarised and given back to every individual in the form of a personal health report.
The aim is to encourage them to think more closely about their own well-being and take steps to optimise their wellness levels when working in the office or from home.
Vapour’s head of operations and compliance, Carol McGrotty, said: “The psychological impact of lockdown, social distancing, work-life juggles, loss of loved ones and general anxieties surrounding the pandemic, have all been widely documented.
“So, as we continue to think about our true duty of care to staff – beyond simply legislative compliance – we wanted to ensure we provide a safe environment for colleagues to review their mental health.
“And of course, we’ll implement as many improvements as we can, to strengthen our collective well-being.
“We’ve followed Champion
Health’s story from the very beginning, as founder Harry Bliss has been speaking to our CEO Tim Mercer for some time about the savvy use of tech for good in the workplace.”
