We recognise that the culture, structures, policies and processes, together with personal lifestyle factors, can play an important role in the health and wellbeing of our staff.
Cycle storage facilities are available at Holyrood. In partnership with our contractor Edenred and Cycle Solutions we have also developed a Cycle2Work scheme. This scheme is an approved salary sacrifice scheme intended to help increase access to more sustainable means of transport to work. Staff can find more information on the intranet. We also offer an interest free loan arrangement for colleagues wishing to purchase an annual travel season ticket.
We know that the price of gym memberships can put people off joining them. We have a small onsite gym facility and corporate gym memberships at discount rates. Contact the gyms directly to get updated prices. Staff can find more information on the intranet.
Our healthy living scheme also supports colleagues to participate in physical activities that contribute to their health and well-being. Our scheme is flexible and covers a wide range of physical activities. It operates on a yearly basis by reimbursing you 50% of the cost of taking part in a physical activity or range of physical activities. Staff can find more information on the intranet.
We have a range of family friendly policies in place to support staff with caring responsibilities. There are over 175 different working patterns across the organisation which clearly shows the effectiveness of our policies. Have a look at the work life balance policy for information.
