Our commitment to our employees' safety and physical and mental health is unwavering, and we continuously strive to provide a safe and supportive work environment for all. By promoting a culture of safety and well-being, we not only ensure the safety of our employees but also contribute to their personal and professional growth. Our focus on the health and well-being of our employees is paramount for us to succeed in the long term.
Target 100 is an all-encompassing group-wide initiative that strives to enhance every aspect of our operations, from employees' safety to delivery efficiency. Above all else, we prioritise safety; nothing matters more to us than ensuring everyone returns home safely every day.
The foundation of Target 100 is safety, and our greatest concern is the safety and well-being of our people, subcontractors, suppliers and the public. To ensure a safe workplace, we emphasise a positive safety culture by encouraging the correct behaviours and attitudes and providing comprehensive training and access to the necessary tools and equipment that staff need to work safely. When it comes to any job or task, we always put safety first, no matter its importance or urgency.
We're on a journey to normalise the discussion of mental health in the workplace and create an environment where employees feel comfortable to share their struggles and get the support they need.
We're passionate about supporting the professional development of our colleagues and have a team of trained Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA) available to provide support and guidance to those who may need it. We understand that everyone's mental well-being is different, so we are dedicated to providing resources and tools to help cultivate a safe and supportive environment where our people can thrive.
The Validium Mental Health Support Programme is a comprehensive platform of services and resources dedicated to providing mental health support to every COOMBES employee, sub-contractors and their families.
The service offers access to an independent employee counselling service, with all sessions backed up by 24-hour phone or e-mail support from certified practitioners. In addition, it includes online self-help tools and activities that support resilience building and mental fitness. These are tailored to meet employees' unique needs and can be accessed anytime and anywhere on any device.
We strive to be market leaders in the sectors in which we operate. We believe that this can only be achieved through the hard work, dedication, and integrity of our people. We take ownership of our actions and are committed to delivering excellence in everything we do.
