Case Study: Young's Seafood (Findus Group)

For Young's Seafood, employee wellbeing is a means to better engage with employees; increase staff retention; improve morale; and enhance the objective for it to be an employer of choice, both regionally and within the food and fi sh industry.

Initiated by the human resources team, this programme began by pooling ideas to design employee wellbeing projects. Team leaders were allocated to each project and critical paths drawn up. Collectively, the team decided to call their initiative 'Everyone Benefi ts' - highlighting it as a 'win win' for both employees and the business. After briefi ng staff and collecting feedback, a rolling programme of activities for employees took off. On average, at least one new initiative now takes place a month. Communication is via dedicated notice boards, intranet, changing posters and leafl ets circulated to staff.

The Grimsby business also undertakes quarterly briefi ngs on the progress of 'Everyone Benefi ts', it also uses these as an opportunity to collect feedback, new ideas and suggestions on how to improve the scheme.
