Keter Group – whose home and garden products include Curver housewares – is launching a group-wide challenge in the UK to help with employee wellbeing. Employees from both of the UK manufacturers sites in Banbury and Redruth sites are being encouraged to take part in a ‘Reach for the Moon’ challenge, setting out to walk 240,000 miles collectively – the equivalent of 480,000,000 steps by December 31 2021.
The aim of the challenge is to help employees enjoy some time out, to exercise during their working day and to benefit from the positive impact of being outdoors. Everyone taking part is using a fitness tracker to take on mini challenges and monitor progress individually and as a company. Keter employees are also taking the opportunity to fundraise for Mind, the leading mental health charity in England and Wales.
We wanted to come up with an activity that, although we are still working apart, we can achieve together across our UK business,” comments Kerry Murfin, Keter’s marketing director Europe. “If there is anything that the last 12 months has taught us is that wellbeing should be at the top of the agenda. We are investing in the wellbeing of our employees all the time so not only are they happy and healthy at work, but they can also live positive lives outside of their day job.”
Keter employees receive several health and wellbeing benefits including a dedicated and trained mental health first aiders team and healthcare package which can be opted into as part of the Keter Scheme. There is also a Keter Community Hub on Instagram for Keter employees to access health and wellbeing support and additional opportunities for mindful activities.
