As a leading provider of Health & Social Care Training, we are proud to announce our latest
milestone in workplace wellbeing, earning the prestigious Bronze Accreditation with
Thrive at Work . This recognition marks a significant step in our dedication to creating a
supportive and healthy work environment, where employee wellbeing is prioritised as a
cornerstone of our culture and success.
What This Accreditation Means for Us
Achieving the Bronze Accreditation demonstrates our commitment to enhancing the working lives of our employees through structured policies, meaningful initiatives, and a culture that prioritises health and wellbeing.
A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing
At Access Skills, we recognise that wellbeing goes beyond physical health. Our approach
includes mental health support, flexible working arrangements, physical wellness
initiatives, and financial wellbeing programmes. Employees have access to counselling
services and webinars like the Ask Caine – The HR Expert , stress management techniques,
and work-life balance policies that support their overall health and performance.
A Supportive and Inclusive Workplace
A thriving workforce is built on inclusivity and support. Our policies ensure that every employee feels valued and empowered to succeed. We actively promote diversity, equal opportunities, and a workplace culture that supports personal and professional growth.
Increased Employee Engagement and Productivity
Studies indicate that organisations that invest in employee wellbeing see significant improvements in engagement and productivity. When employees feel valued and supported, they are more motivated to contribute their best efforts, driving workplace success which has been our testament.
Debbie Lewis, our Chief Operating Officer, shared her thoughts on this achievement:
“We believe a healthy team is key to business success. This accreditation reflects our commitment to making wellbeing as important as performance, and we’re excited to continue this journey. Our employees are our greatest asset, and ensuring their wellbeing remains a
top priority.”
