Mergon International were shortlisted for the National Workplace Wellbeing Day Awards 2017, which celebrates best practice in workplace wellbeing. On 31st March over 400 public and private sector organisations took part in Workplace Wellbeing Day. While these awards are only in their second year, the Judges were struck by the high standard of the entries and the commitment to workplace wellbeing which was evident throughout.
80,000 hours of our lives are spent at work, so where we work has a major impact on our health. Making the workplace a better place is in all our interests. Through programmes like WoW (Weeks of Wellness) and ongoing initiatives such as ‘couch to 5k’ and fruit in the canteens for staff, this has put Mergon in the top 3 companies that were shortlisted.
We were extremely proud to be shortlisted and invited to the awards ceremony and we hope with a few extra implementations on workplace wellbeing we will be accepting the award next year.
