“Working towards the Thrive at Work Foundation Level has been an enlightening journey for BVSC. Throughout this process, the significance of prioritising employee well-being and mental health, which is a fundamental aspect of our workplace culture, was reinforced.

As part of the process, we have conducted assessments of our existing policies, practices, and support mechanisms to identify areas for improvement. Collaborating closely with staff members, we sought valuable feedback and insights to better understand their needs and challenges. This recognition encourages us to stay focused on supporting workplace wellbeing and the achievement of the Thive at Work bronze level. We now have a robust wellbeing action plan in place, which we will continue to work towards over the coming months.”
