Marvin OnumonuHills Homes Developments in Swindon has won a national Occupational Health award from the Building Safety Group (BSG) for its online employee Wellbeing Hub.
The BSG awards, held at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, recognise health, safety and wellbeing standards in the construction industry.
Hills Homes took the award for Occupational Health and Wellbeing Initiative.
The Wellbeing Hub is an online resource giving staff 24/7 access to information and links on mental health, physical health, financial matters and lifestyle benefits.
Mark Tinson (pictured, centre left), managing director of Hills Homes, said: “The standard of companies from across the UK that were shortlisted at the BSG awards was extremely high.
“It was therefore fantastic to see Hills and our HR team, who created and implemented the Wellbeing Hub in conjunction with colleagues from Communications, receive the well-earned recognition and win the award for what the judges considered the best ‘Occupational Health and Wellbeing Initiative.’
“I am extremely proud of the HR team and their efforts in winning this award. It not only reinforces how highly regarded we view them within the Homes Division, but it will also put more visibility on what is an excellent platform, and will hopefully result in even more of our employees making use of the benefits it provides.”
Pamela Hunt (pictured, centre right), director of HR at the Hills Group, said: “We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition from BSG.
“This award reflects our commitment to fostering a culture where wellbeing is not just a priority, but a core part of how we operate.
“Our people are our greatest strength, and this achievement reinforces the importance of listening, supporting, and investing in wellbeing.”
BSG judges said: “To increase mental health awareness throughout the business, Hills chose to build its own ‘Wellbeing Hub’ which would help to support the professional and private lives of staff.
“The Wellbeing Hub was developed and launched on a user-friendly platform offering Mental and Physical support, as well as Lifestyle and Financial advice.
“Results have been spectacular with employees actively and regularly engaging with the new platform, which has had a measurable and positive impact on morale.”
