Valley House is committed to creating a healthy and supportive workplace for all employees. We have implemented a comprehensive range of initiatives to enhance employee well-being, including a robust mental health policy, enhanced Personal Development Reviews, and dedicated support for employees with musculoskeletal conditions and caring responsibilities.
Integrated Wellbeing Policy: Our comprehensive policy encompasses both mental health and general well-being, providing a clear framework for employee support.
Enhanced Personal Development Reviews: PDRs now include questions about mental health and well-being, fostering open communication and identifying areas for support.
MSK Care Plan: Developed with the “Thrive at Work” MSK theme in mind, this plan helps address musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions and unseen medical conditions that may impact employee health. It encourages open conversations with line managers to explore options such as reasonable adjustments, emotional support, flexible working arrangements, and referrals to Occupational Health.
Carer Friendly Employer: Valley House has achieved the Silver Carer Friendly Employer Award, recognising our commitment to supporting employees with care responsibilities.
Suicide Awareness Training: All staff have access to training to equip them with the knowledge and skills to support their teams and create a more supportive workplace.
Mental Health First Aider Program: This program provides crucial support to employees experiencing mental health challenges.
Self-Check Initiatives: We promote the importance of self-checks for early detection of health problems, including breast cancer, skin cancer, and testicular cancer.
Moving Forward: Valley House remains dedicated to continuously improving its well-being initiatives. We will continue to prioritise employee and service user needs, providing a supportive and inclusive environment for all.
