F.Hinds Celebrates Inaugural Wellbeing Month with Team Members Across the UK

12 Jul 2024

High street jeweller F.Hinds took employee wellness to a new level in June with their very first Health & Wellbeing month. A series of challenges, support strategies and activities were introduced company-wide to help staff manage their physical and mental health. 

Kicking off with a company-wide step challenge to get all F.Hinds and Chapelle store teams moving, a £300 prize was up for grabs for the store that went the furthest. Head Office staff also got involved, bringing the whole company together in moving more. Tracking via wearable devices – which are available to buy in store of course – the tallies are being uploaded via the team intranet to find the ultimate winning team. 

To encourage healthy eating, each store was provided with a £10 allowance to buy fresh fruit across the month, meaning staff rooms were bursting with healthful snacks for everyone to enjoy. Head Office staff also received fruit to enjoy.

Alongside these initiatives, tips and resources around Health & Wellbeing were provided to all team members each week. With a different focus each week, advice was shared on how to improve sleep quality, how to find and maintain work/life balance and the benefits of getting outdoors. 

Good money habits were the focus in Week Two, with advice on budgeting and future-proofing finances. Week Three focussed on understanding mental health - how to open up conversations with friends and colleagues, while the month was rounded off in Week Four with a series of free online therapy sessions to help with stress, anxiety and depression. 

Delivery of Health & Wellbeing Month was supported by The Retail Trust, a charity which supports members of the retail world with wellness, financial and business advice and other help. F.Hinds are long-term supporters of the Trust, promoting their initiatives and using their resources to help staff in both their personal and professional lives. 

Natasha House, Head of Marketing and Wellbeing at F.Hinds, commented,

“As a family-first business, our team members are the most valuable asset in our company. Without them we wouldn’t have grown to be the business we are today. We appreciate the hard work and effort put in by everyone and are thrilled our inaugural Health & Wellbeing Month has been such a resounding success. 

"We feel it is so important to show that we appreciate our staff and recognise that they sometimes need extra support - the work of the Retail Trust helps us to deliver tangible results across the whole of F.Hinds and Chapelle."
