GR feel great!
Gardiner Richardson has become one of only eight companies in the North East to win funding through the Department of Health Challenge Fund Scheme to launch an innovative year long project that improves employees’ health and wellbeing at work.
The scheme encourages employees to take part in activities to prompt them to be more active and to ask them to look at their health and lifestyle choices which includes nutrition and diet.
As part of the project we are working with Northumbria University on research into attitudes to fitness and how well being can be improved within the workplace. As an incentive to our employees taking part in the research we have awarded them each £40 contribution towards items to help them improve their health and wellbeing.
The company will also be working with employees throughout the year to help give something back to the local community in the form of a team challenge, taking part in a charity event or volunteering.
