Crown Worldwide Group in the UK and Ireland (Crown UK&I) has received the ‘We invest in wellbeing’ accreditation by Investors in People (IIP), a testament to our commitment and continued efforts to prioritize the health and overall wellbeing of our employees.
The ‘We invest in wellbeing’ standard acknowledges organizations that adopt a proactive and engaged approach to enhance the health and
wellbeing of their workforce. This achievement builds on our recognition in 2022, when we were awarded a silver accreditation for ‘We invest in people’ from IIP.
Putting people first
At Crown, we believe our people are our greatest asset. For us, health and wellbeing extend beyond mere compliance with safety regulations; they encompass various aspects of every employee’s life, including physical and mental health, work-life balance, and financial wellbeing. We have a strong focus on wellbeing that is aligned with our company values, and we have taken the opportunity to benchmark our wellbeing practices against the ‘We Invest in Wellbeing’ standard.
The report noted that we have enhanced our wellbeing initiatives over the past few years, promoting a positive, productive, supportive, and healthy work environment. From creating our first Wellbeing Strategy shaped by employee feedback and championing wellbeing activities to improving physical workplaces and providing flexible working arrangements, we are creating a true culture of wellbeing.
The report also highlighted our investment in wellbeing through consolidation and communication of available initiatives, training programs, robust leadership support, and regular employee feedback used to inform new initiatives.
Stephen Hardie, Managing Director of Crown Worldwide Group in the UK and Ireland, commented on the accreditation: “At Crown, we invest in all aspects of the employee experience, with a strong emphasis on wellbeing. An external benchmarking standard, which includes direct employee feedback, is valuable as we work to enhance this experience.
“Achieving the ‘We Invest in Wellbeing’ accreditation showcases our commitment to a supportive workplace where everyone feels empowered and valued, as reflected in our high employee engagement scores. However, there is still more work to be done, and we will be reviewing the recommendations in the report to make it simpler for our people to have an even better employee experience.
Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate Crown UK and Ireland. Accreditation for ‘We Invest in Wellbeing’ is a fantastic achievement for any organization and places Crown alongside numerous other organizations that recognize the value of wellbeing and invest in making work better for everyone in their company.”
