Working for wellbeing
Governments are increasingly looking for companies to play a role in helping their employees to choose healthier lifestyles.
O2 is committed to high standards of health and safety at work and helping people to improve their general health and wellbeing.
We believe this has benefits for individuals and the business. Ultimately, a healthier workforce will mean a better experience for our customers.
During the year we continued to roll out programmes across O2:
- In the UK, we launched an online 'personal fitness trainer', chiropractor workshops, a new range of healthier food in our restaurants and a free stop-smoking programme.
- In the UK and Germany we continued to run stress awareness workshops, backed by help and advice.
- In Germany, we continued to subsidise an on-site gym at our Munich headquarters and offered sports activities at all locations, massage, advice on heart disease and free flu vaccinations.
- In Ireland, we continued to expand the Perfect Balance programme to include diabetes awareness, yoga, massage and Weight Watchers.
Our operating businesses are finding ways to support their charities which also improve the health and fitness of employees
In the UK, fundraising for Weston Spirit included teams competing on exercise bikes to cover the distance between Glasgow and Madrid. Hundreds of O2 employees took part in our community investment programme during the year, which we believe adds satisfaction to the experience of many who work at O2.
