Mental health and well being We are committed to the care and wellbeing of our employees, and this is underpinned by our ‘My Wellbeing’ initiative which covers a wide range of resources available to all employees.
Additional Benefits We use You at Work/Plus You to provide employees with preferential shopping and membership discounts across a wide range of goods and services across the UK. In the last 12 months we have also introduced Critical Illness cover and a Health Care plan that is available to all our employees. We thank our employees for staying with us by presenting an ‘Anniversary Card’ from Alistair Cochrane, Chief Operating Officer, along with a monetary ‘thank you’ to each individual at the 5, 10, 20 and 30 year service milestones. Gender Pay Gap Reporting From April 2018, companies with 250 or more employees are required to publish defined statistics on Gender Pay information. The Whistl Group is reporting in accordance with the requirements of the mandatory Regulations under The Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017, for the following four reporting business entities for the April 2022 reference period: Whistl UK Ltd (DSA & SSC), Whistl Fulfilment (Gateshead) Ltd., Whistl Fulfilment (Rushden) Ltd and Whistl Fulfilment (South West) Ltd.
We have trained Mental Health First Aiders across the business, and in conjunction with external organisations, we can help reduce the stigma of Mental Health by encouraging open and safe conversations.
