Case study: Aimia Foods Ltd
Aimia Foods Ltd, a food and beverage supplier for consumer markets, is committed
to improving the lifestyle of its employees and customers. It runs a number of
programmes to assist its staff to fulfil this aim, including:
- created over 150 new jobs locally during 2005 with plans for further recruitment
2006
- invested over £150, 000 in a new canteen and kitchen to provide staff with a
broader range of fresh meals with healthy options. The cost of meals are also
subsidised by the company and supported by a local start up business
- introducing a no smoking policy. In parallel the company also introduced
facilities to help employees stop smoking such as providing nicotine patches, and a
bonus of £50 to anyone who stopped smoking for more than 12 weeks
- subsidising membership to a local gym through the company's Social Club
- organising for a local GP and nurse to come regularly to the company to provide
health check-ups
- providing employees and their families access to a luxury villa in Spain
(Marbella), a holiday home in Orlando, Florida and a caravan in Devon at no cost to
the employees except travel.
All these initiatives are still running.
