LumiraDx Care Solutions wins the GOLD Healthy Workplace Award

LumiraDx Care Solutions, a dynamic health technology business leading digital health innovation, has been presented with the 2017 Gold Healthy Workplace Award. The award, which was given in recognition of its progressive approach towards the health and wellbeing of its employees, was presented at a ceremony at the Pavilion Centre, Royal Cornwall Showground on 27 February.

The Healthy Workplace Award was founded in Cornwall and encourages companies to promote healthy living at work.

Last year LumiraDx Care Solutions entered for the first time and achieved the Bronze award and have now been recognised further for a number of healthy initiatives, ideas and activities including:

• Lower back pain workshops
• Kudos cards
• Taking part in the Get Active Challenge
• Staff parties with beach and water sports

Following an employee idea they now also provide free lunch for all employees every day, helping ensure they take a good break away from their desks. LumiraDx Care Solutions have also made stress management a focal point over the past year, with stress management workshops and regular, fully supported access to a local life coach and plans for mindfulness training in 2017.

Clare Gardner, People Development Manager at LumiraDx Care Solutions says:

“We are delighted to receive our award! I think it’s a real reflection of the hard work that we put in to look after our people and to ensure that LumiraDx is a fantastic place to work. We are lucky with the location of our office, as the beach is just five minutes away, and with an hour’s lunch break, many staff head down to Portreath for a lunchtime walk and breath of fresh air.’’

Rachel Faulkner, Workplace Health Coordinator at Health Promotion Service says:

“A great achievement! There are many more ideas and plans for the future too, which will continue to strengthen and support all the work focusing on health and wellbeing of staff.  The health and wellbeing of staff feels embedded and part of the culture at this organisation: very impressive.  Keep up the great work.”
