Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) is the world's largest professional health and safety organisation. Since its inception in 1945, it has been committed to creating a safe and healthy working environment for everyone. IOSH has a global membership of over 50,000 professionals in more than 130 countries. Alongside its global membership, it also works with international bodies like the United Nations and the Commonwealth, providing expert analysis on safety and health issues and raising awareness at a global level.
Employee engagement is at the heart of the organisation's ethos. IOSH is a flexible employer, offering a hybrid working model that supports work-life balance. It also promotes a strong social purpose, offering employees paid volunteering days and supporting local events like Leicester Pride. IOSH values inclusivity and celebrates diversity within its workforce. To uphold the wellbeing of its employees, IOSH provides private healthcare, menopause support, chair yoga sessions, and has a mindfulness programme in place.
IOSH's engagement strategy extends beyond just its current employees. It also invests in the future of its workforce through supporting finance colleagues to undertake professional qualifications and through apprenticeship schemes. IOSH's commitment to employee engagement is perhaps most evident in its efforts to ensure every member of the team understands the role they play in the organisation's overall strategy, Activate 2028. Through regular team meetings, performance updates, and a collaborative annual business planning process, IOSH ensures that all employees feel connected to its vision and mission.
