Looking after employee wellbeing

At Anglian Water, we have a fundamental belief that looking after our people is the right thing to do.

That’s why we work hard to encourage employee wellbeing, and create a culture driven by happier, healthier and safer staff. 

Our long-term wellbeing strategy focuses on our employees being ‘healthier, happier, safer’. It puts health and wellbeing centre stage and extends beyond our workforce to those we do not directly employ, such as contractors in our supply chain. Our ambition is to support employees at work, and at home too. We believe that coming to work should have a positive impact on employee health and happiness. 

Anglian Water follows this model by making wellbeing central to our organisational strategy, as our ability to perform as a business is linked, entirely, to the performance of the people within it. If our colleagues are fit, well and safe they are likely to be more productive and deliver a better service to our customers.

Wellbeing Plan 2023

At Anglian Water we care about your wellbeing. Through a series of campaigns and activities, aimed to improve employees’ health and well-being, we will do all we can to support you to be the best you can be at home and at work.

Our Wellbeing Plan focuses on the key health and wellbeing challenges we face, as a workforce. It’s designed to support you to be happy and healthy, but it can also help broaden your knowledge of key health and wellbeing topics; to enable you to help a colleague, a friend or a family member.

You should feel empowered to take action and play a part in the wellbeing activities by learning, staying active and taking notice of things around you. These are all proven techniques to help build physical and mental resilience and help us stay well. There’s lots of support available on the Wellbeing hub, where you’ll find everything you need in one handy place.

Well-being is being comfortable, healthy, or happy.  It is a complex combination of many different factors, such as physical, mental, and social health. These factors which can play a big part in how you feel and cope with everyday life.

We hold monthly webinars, with the topic linked to the Wellbeing Plan. We have a variety of guest speakers, who share their experiences, as well as bitesize opportunities to support you with your health and wellbeing. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about wellbeing in general, the benefits of looking after different aspects of your health and the longer-term implications if you don’t. There is plenty of guidance on techniques and support resources available, should you need them.

The videos are available throughout the year, to watch back on our Wellbeing hub.

This Month's Focus - October is all about building resilience

*Month* is all about *focus*

Resilience is important, it helps us process and overcome everyday challenges. Those lacking resilience get easily overwhelmed and may turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms. Resilient people tap into their strengths and support systems, to overcome challenges and work through problems.

​We will be holding two webinars this month; one on “Building resilience” and another on “How to Build your own Personal Resilience Plan”.

We will also be recognising World Mental Health Day on 10th October

 

World Mental Health Day is a chance to talk about mental health, how we need to look after it, and how important it is to talk about things and get help if you are struggling. On 10th October, you can join virtually to watch some of our senior leaders talk openly and candidly about mental health
