OSB Group, a retail savings and specialist lending organisation, is a company that values the wellbeing of its employees as much as it does its financial performance.

The company's Menopause Awareness training for line managers and its BUPA Menopause Plan are prime examples of such initiatives. These programmes provide personalised support and treatment to those going through menopause, helping to ensure a supportive and understanding work environment.

OSB Group also recognises the importance of mental health in the workplace, delivering 'Every Mind Matters’ and ‘Mindfulness’ workshops, along with 'Talking about Menopause’ and ‘Managing Menopause in the Workplace’ sessions. Additionally, it has established a Wellness Hub within its intranet sites to provide a single point of reference for a wide range of mental and physical wellbeing support and guidance.

The organisation’s commitment to work-life balance is demonstrated through its Hybrid Working approach, Webex free Friday afternoons, and the company lunch hour. These initiatives promote the importance of breaks and provide ongoing workplace flexibility in a post-pandemic environment.

Employee development is also a priority at OSB Group, with three separate internal development programmes available to all those in management/leadership roles. These include the Future Supervisors and Managers Programme, Essential Management Programme, and Stellar Leadership Programme.

Finally, OSB Group’s social consciousness extends beyond the workplace. It has elected Depaul as its UK national charity partner, raised significant funds for charities, and increased annual volunteering leave opportunity. Moreover, it's also committed to environmental sustainability, minimising its impact through various green initiatives.
