Thanks to all those in the UK who attended our Wellbeing and Safety Day Pilots this week, taking the idea from conception to execution.
The previous Wellbeing and Safety Days were held annually, the last ones being six years ago. It was, therefore, felt that we needed to re-introduce them, but in a different format.
The shorter sessions were full of tears and much laughter from employees from all businesses, with colleagues happy to speak openly about Wellbeing and Safety.
The open discussions, the interaction and the passion for health and safety from the delegates was energising, and the increased focus on wellbeing very relevant and engaging.
Thanks also to Lex Russell and Andy Taylor for joining the sessions and taking note of all the comments throughout the day.
Commenting on the sessions Lex said: “Today’s session exceeded my expectations. The quality of the interaction was testament to how much our culture has evolved. Employees at all levels, from all businesses in Cemex UK were happy to speak openly about wellbeing, health and safety. Our vision to be safer and healthier through caring, made great progress today!”
