Leadership

I have confidence in the leadership skills of the senior management team

To help the company on their journey of achieving their Mission of exceeding industry Health & Safety standards and Employment Fulfilment levels, Barlow's focus this year has been on Health and Wellbeing. The company partnered with Annurca, a company whose aim is to help individuals have a healthy lifestyle through workplace initiatives. During April 2011 they provided health and wellbeing assessments for all employees. Barlow’s aim is to help their employees reflect on their current lifestyle, to compare where they are against national recommendations, and to suggest practical and enjoyable ways for them to change if they choose; together with on-going support and encouragement.
