Eden Springs helping their employees physical & mental health

Posted on 6th May 20218th April 2022 by Posted in Case Studies, Events, Sustainability, TrainingLeave a Comment on Eden Springs helping their employees physical & mental health

WHA Member Eden Springs UK have taken enormous steps to ensure that their employees’ physical and mental health is boosted during the Covid-19 pandemic.

During lockdown, a large number of their employees were working from home, and continue to do so. They were sent regular health and well-being communications including top tips when working from home, 10 minute desk work outs, and monthly well-being toolkits covering topics such as rest and sleep, back care and active minds.

DSE assessments were carried out for all home working employees, as well as providing all with useful advice on properly setting up a workstation to avoid any problems.

From April – June a company-wide step count challenge has been set up, encouraging employees to work together, get more active and generate some healthy competition between colleagues!

Colleagues from different departments have been forming teams using fabulous names like “Between a Walk and a Hard Place” and “Worst Pace Scenario”, logging their steps and winning prizes.

Weekly online lunch time mindfulness sessions were available to all employees, as well as running 2 NHS Mental Health First Aid courses.  Eden Springs now have 17 Managers across the UK who are trained to recognise the signs of mental ill-health and support others to seek the right help.

Eden Springs UK are committed to continuous improvement for all and believe that by investing in training, it encourages employees to build resilience and strengthen their skills for future growth. They offer employees courses in Time Management, Mental Health Awareness, Developing Personal Resilience, Dealing with Change, Customer for Life and Coaching for Performance.

Water at Work Saves Energy

Posted on 23rd May 201810th January 2020 by Posted in Case Studies, SustainabilityLeave a Comment on Water at Work Saves Energy

Water at Work Ltd, a member of the BWCA, introduced an energy saving initiative to help reduce the carbon footprint of the business.

The use of insulation in the building and energy-saving light bulbs was introduced, not to save costs, but to make the company more environmentally-friendly and the changes have created a warmer working environment with no noticeable change to heating costs.

“We have the opportunity as Owners and Directors to either support our planet or ignore its cries for help,” says Tanya Cornford, the MD. “If we all, in every small way, try to operate in an environmentally positive manner then there will be exponential benefits.”

The company also continuously reviews driver routes and ensures economic deliveries by checking in advance with customers how much water they need. Carrying just the right load means there is no surplus fuel used in the carriage of unwanted product.

The team has also given much in in the way of personal energy to good causes. The company supports WaterAid and Lincolnshire Air Ambulance whilst Tanya, Ruth Egerton and Sue Hart from the team undertook The Moon Walk for Breast Cancer.

The company also supports local community projects by supplying water to events, such as the Bingham Health Campaign (pictured).

Swithland Spring Offers Local Water for Local People

Posted on 23rd May 201810th January 2020 by Posted in Case Studies, SustainabilityLeave a Comment on Swithland Spring Offers Local Water for Local People

Often it’s the way businesses operate that makes a real difference to the environment.

Water dispensers offer a great way to enjoy healthy hydration with an excellent record of recycling bottles. When the water is sourced and delivered locally, the environmental impacts are minimal. That’s just what happens with BWCA Member company Swithland Spring Water.

They consider themselves to have a low carbon footprint as the water is bottled less than 25 metres from the borehole and, once bottled and tested, the bottled are delivered in the main to customers within a 50 mile radius. In common with other BWCA Members, the old bottles are recycled – usually after more than 40 uses.

The company also runs an active Corporate Social Responsibility programme, sponsoring several local charities and donating water to a number of fundraising events. These include: Intercare Medical Aid for Africa, Rainbows Walk for Life, Seagrave Wolds Challenge, Swithland 6, Rothley 10K run, Menpys sponsored walk, Vasculitis UK, the Air Ambulance Service and The Dogs Trust.
