What Diageo NI Ltd did
Since the success of Diageo NI’s award-winning ‘You are Made of More’ health and wellbeing campaign, the company decided its offering had evolved and has now developed its ‘Secret to Success’ programme.
The ‘Secret to Success’ programme provides a range of workshops (including Learning Unlocked, Building Resilience and Mindfulness), plus informal ‘lunch and learn’ sessions presented by senior executives who tell the story of their career successes and how they have navigated the challenges of work/life balance and created possibilities within their roles – with the key message that it is being happy that brings success, not the other way around.
The programme is aimed at helping to facilitate a positive change in the way employees think, feel and act at work, bringing to life the Diageo purpose of ‘celebrating life every day everywhere’.
A health & wellbeing steering committee now oversees all strategic plans and KPI analysis. From a health perspective, the drinks company has now also put significant focus on monitoring health and has put in place strategic plans to address key health issues in the workplace.
