Since 1972, charity organisation Keep Wales Tidy had been committed to working with local communities across Wales to help protect the environment now, and for the future.

In order for its employees to be able to look after the environment to their best ability, Keep Wales Tidy recognises that its employees must also be well looked after. As such, the organisation prioritises the wellbeing of its people.

Keep Wales Tidy has created a Wellbeing Team which consists of staff, managers, and trustees who meet quarterly to discuss ideas and initiatives to help improve employee wellbeing. The group look at organising events, activities, initiatives, and produce policies to assist and improve the overall health and happiness of every individual within the business.

There is a wellbeing area on the company sharepoint website which signposts staff to wellbeing ideas and support, including podcasts, saving schemes, articles, and many others.

Furthermore, every employee receives membership to a cash health plan which encourages people to look after themselves physically. It also means that they can reclaim all or part of the costs, for example for their dental or optical bills.

Another way that Keep Wales Tidy looks after its employees is by offering them £15 per month towards an activity that supports their mental or physical health, such as a gym membership, art class, and more.

The organisation also ensures that employees can claim for any business expenses immediately, meaning that they don’t have to wait until payday to be reimbursed.
