The Works

The Works continues to have a strong partnership with the Retail Trust, who offer an Employee Assistance Programme option for all staff, and provide proactive support. The organisation has also launched a Wellbeing Warrior programme where colleagues across the business are trained to offer support and signpost resources available.
This year, The Works upped its game with the second year of WorksFest. The celebration event, where colleagues came together to hear business updates, took part in summer fayre-themed activities, had a meal from the food truck and lemonade stand, and raised money for the organisation’s charity partners through a raffle and bake off competition.
The Works is passionate about providing impactful and engaging development opportunities for colleagues that will have a lasting impact on their continued development, personal growth, and wellbeing throughout their lives. It continues to develop content of its Learning Academy - the Can-Do Academy - which hosts hours of learning covering current role and extended learning.

The CIPP has arranged for employees to have free access to Peppy Health, which is a menopause, fertility, early parenthood, and men's health related app. There is also online support by professionals to help with any questions and tips on how to manage menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms.

Once a month, managers are asked to focus on one value and nominate an employee who has shown exemplary work towards that value. A vote of the selected candidates then takes place and the winning employee is congratulated by the senior leadership team and recognised throughout the organisation.

It is a Living Wage Employer and ensures a company-wide fair pay structure relating to job title and responsibility for that role. It has an annual pay review every September to ensure all employees’ salaries are consistent across all departments, and this year has also taken the cost of living increase into account.
