The leader of this organisation runs this organisation based on sound moral principles

Each morning, Home Instead holds a huddle where the whole team meet virtually to discuss any updates. This is hosted by a member of the leadership team, usually the CEO. They share personal events too, such as birthdays and work anniversaries, as well as good news and business successes. Their CEO also regularly drops into team meetings to see how everyone is doing, to catch up on key projects, and to see if any additional support is needed. Each departmental head has regular meetings with their team. Some do ‘Tea at Three’ daily, whilst other teams meet two or three times a week. The leadership team have encouraged social events, such as quizzes and have actively taken part in this.

I am happy with the balance between my work and home life

Wellbeing webinars were introduced, with 30-minute sessions facilitated by a mindfulness expert on topics such as self-worth, resilience and managing stress. A wellbeing strategy and toolkit was created, with three sections covering My Lifestyle, My Development and My Self. Items in the toolkit included links, podcasts, documents, special staff offers from companies, mindfulness, wellbeing coaching and exercise to name just a few. The company has a wellbeing fund, a monthly value available to all employees, which can be used against any activity that will contribute to a person’s wellbeing, such as gym membership, personal training or Pilates. They also have ‘Wellbeing Wednesdays’, where sessions are facilitated by a wellbeing coach and consist of a one-hour webinar with the option for employees to book confidential, one to one wellbeing sessions throughout the day.

This organisation has a strong social conscience

Home Instead has its own charity called Home Instead Charities- UK. The charity is aimed at bringing joy to older adults throughout the UK. This mission has been even more important during the pandemic due social isolation and loneliness. The foundation raised funds in the early stages of the pandemic to pay for technology such as tablets and Facebook portals that were  given to ageing adults so they could stay connected with their families. Additionally, all of their employees are granted volunteer days. During the pandemic, their employees used the volunteer days to support their local communities, including helping with delivery of food parcels to those who were vulnerable and volunteering for Re-engage, a charity that supports older people through social contact.
