My health is suffering because of my work

The employee well being team and pharmacy division have linked up to offer all staff a free health check by a trained pharmacist. In 15 minutes, the pharmacist carries out a variety of key tests including blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol monitoring, body mass index assessment and general health advice thus covering all the types of test offered at a well man/woman clinic within the NHS. These tests can help identify serious conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.

My team is fun to work with

The Society invested nearly £15,000 in the employee association. During this time there were approximately 1000 employee association members. This cost includes the annual dinner which is heavily subsidised by the Society with half of the venue amount being paid as well as all transport costs. This is a total of approx £11000 per year for the annual dinner only. The employee association is run by its employees. As well as the annual dinner, events include darts competition, pub quizzes, trips to Dublin, pantomimes, strictly come dancing live tour, pub concerts, X factor tour, family days to Drayton Manor Park etc. and many more.

I believe this organisation does not do enough to protect the environment

Lincolnshire is a co-operative business, owned and run democratically by its members (including their employees), operating convenience stores, pharmacies, post offices etc. which puts them right at the heart of the local community. They have a team of 8 people dedicated to working with their members and the local community which enables them to work with hundreds of charities and community groups each year and they’re in the process of recruiting for a new role in each of their food stores to work closer with the local community and to help charities.
