Employees are provided with a wellbeing calendar where each month focuses on a topic from mental health to financial wellbeing. All of this is supported by the iWill portal which is a wellbeing resource center which enables employees to access many topics. Each topic is supported by a video, podcast and a series of fact sheets - so there's something for everyone.

Each employee has a paid day off per year in order to do charitable work for a company-nominated charity or a charity of their choice. Examples include sorting charitable donations of clothes, repairing donated bikes, donating Christmas gifts and clearing parkland.

The GEMS recognition scheme sees hard work and excellence publicly recognised. Everyone who awards a GEM has to include a reason, showcasing how staff live and breathe the core values in their day-to-day work. To date, 1,754 GEMs have been awarded.

Continuing Conversations measures performance through ongoing one-to-one conversations throughout the year with line managers, ending in a 4QReview, measuring performance against four key questions.
