Work Life Balance

St Anne’s is firmly committed to supporting and retaining its staff and recognises that helping staff to achieve a healthy work-life balance is important in retaining high quality and committed staff and improving health and wellbeing amongst the workforce. Our definition of work-life balance is that:

“St Anne’s aims to provide staff with the opportunity to balance the demands of work and personal life, to achieve fulfilment and well-being, whilst meeting the needs of the service.”

We have put this into practice in many ways through our Work-Life Balance strategy and some of the key benefits offered to staff in achievement of this aim are as follows:

• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
• Stress risk assessments in place at each work-site
• Subsidised gym membership
• Special Leave policy
• Flexible Working policy
• Enhanced maternity leave benefits
• In-house physical health and nutrition training
• Dignity at Work policy

We are continuously reviewing and updating our work-life balance action plans and strive to provide a positive and supportive work environments across all our work-sites.
