Unipart had been named the winner of the Bupa Wellbeing at Work Award in the 2016 Responsible Business Awards.  This award recognises Unipart’s approach to employee wellbeing and the way in which they encourage and support all their employees to lead healthier lives through the Unipart WorkWell scheme.

Up against some excellent companies each of which had strong employee wellbeing programmes, other finalists included Marks and Spencer, BAM Nuttall and Morgan Sindall, Visualsoft and Northstar Housing Group. 

“Winning this award is particularly important because it recognises that our wellbeing programme is strongly rooted in the philosophy and values of our company.” commented George Tillier, Managing Director of Unipart Rail.  “The award show that the scheme is regarded as best in class amongst the UK’s leading companies”.

The WorkWell programme provides a way for Unipart Rail’s staff in Doncaster to take better care of themselves and their families.  Also managers and team leaders have participated in training programmes for managing pressure positively.  

Across the Unipart group over a quarter of people have engaged in health checks, gym and fitness sessions, stress workshops, mental health awareness training, or stop smoking clinics and over 350 people have used the free confidential helpline called Unipart Cares. 

“This award is an important level of recognition for our commitment to the wellbeing of all our people.” added George, “It demonstrates to other companies, partners and potential employees that we all continue to strive to live our values despite the increasingly challenging business environments in which we operate.“
