F.Hinds hosts first Health and Wellbeing Month for UK staff

High street jeweller F.Hinds celebrated its first Health and Wellbeing month in June with a series of challenges, support strategies and activities to help staff manage their physical and mental health.

The group kick-started the month with a step challenge across all F.Hinds and Chapelle stores. The team with the most number of steps won a cash prize of £300.

Meanwhile, to encourage healthy eating, each store was provided with a £10 allowance to buy fresh fruit across the month.

Alongside these initiatives, tips and resources around health and 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.

Additionally, 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.

The Retail Trust, a charity which supports members of the retail world with wellness, financial and business advice and other help, supported F. Hinds throughout its Health and Wellbeing Month.

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, said, “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 and 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.”
