5 Health and wellbeing
(Employee benefits)
We are members of Smart Go Merseyside (part of a National Service to help employers encourage low carbon transport by providing offers on buses, trains, electric vehicles, gyms and more) which demonstrates our commitment to our local environment.
We have also installed Bicycle Racks at our New Premises and installed Electrical Vehicle Charging Points.
We offer an Employee Assistance Programme – Care First BUPA (Mental Health Support Helpline) which provides a counselling support service for any personal, work or family issues. Our provider Care First is open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
We also operate a Simply Health Cash Plan
– Simply Health allows employees to claim back the cost of regular health appointments and treatment, like the dentist and optician. They can also claim back the cost of less frequent healthcare, such as a visit to a chiropodist or a physiotherapist.
We have also introduced Dams Gateway App which offers our employees savings on food, clothes, utility bills and even insurance.
Mental health
Often mental health is not visible, but just because we don’t see it, it doesn’t mean
it’s non-existent. At Dams we understand the positive impact that healthy and engaged employees make to the success
of the business. Our HR Department have successfully completed the Mental Health First Aid Certification course which will equip them with the knowledge to identify those who require mental health support and the confidence to help Dams employees where required.
