Grundon achieves accreditation for workplace culture

Bristol waste management and recycling specialist Grundon has been officially certified for its commitment to employee wellbeing.

The company, which operates out of its base in St Philip’s in Bristol as well as Bishops Cleeve near Cheltenham, has been given the We Invest in Wellbeing accreditation by Investors in People.

The accreditation comes after a detailed assessment throughout May and June this year across Grundon’s sites, as well as focus groups and an online survey open to all employees.

Results from the assessment highlighted that the company excelled by cultivating a positive workplace culture, characterised by mutual respect, role autonomy, and expert colleagues.

The accreditation includes a three-year action plan, providing Grundon with a structured approach to further improve its wellbeing initiatives.

Grundon’s existing wellbeing strategy, which emphasises employee welfare and continuous development, was central to its accreditation. Action points to come out of the assessment will now be rolled out for all Grundon’s employees across its sites.

Bev Capewell, Grundon’s newly-appointed head of HR, said: “Achieving the ‘We invest in wellbeing’ standard accreditation marks a significant milestone for Grundon. It underlines our dedication to promoting a healthy and positive workplace.

“However, we are not resting on our success. Our ambition is to reach the higher echelons of accreditation – gold or platinum – and we are fully committed to implementing the three-year action plan from Investors in People to achieve this goal.

“By working on this goal together as one team, I believe we can create an even more vibrant and supportive environment for all our employees.”

Last year Grundon chose Bristol to launch its new fleet of electric vehicles.
