Well Being & Welfare
Welfare & Facilities
GBRf has a Health & Wellbeing Strategy endorsed by its Executive Team. This is aligned to Leading Health and Safety on Britains Railway and the RM3.
GBRf involvement in collaborative groups reduce the costs of company change programmes through shared resources and range of products available.
Members are connected.
Communication channels are highly active via industry groups, a dedicated list of company contacts, e-bulletins and briefs are received.
Within rail, health services are strong, standards drive good performance, and GBRf know how to get the best use of medical knowledge, there is a focus on design of technology and automation to minimise health risks in every day work.
We are developing company data to monitor performance and use cross-industry data to benchmark and gain context for health risk.
Benchmarking and networking creates a shared understanding of risk and therefore priorities for investment and change.
We have good understanding of our health risks and control them as low as reasonably practicable. Industry Groups we support horizon scan to understand societal health risks so we can mitigate negative impacts and make use of medical technology. We want to further work alongside our employees to support good mental health and physical wellbeing.
We are training managers to be confident about managing health and wellbeing issues and are happy to discuss them with their teams.
Investment in our people through quality operational and occupational facilities is high on the agenda and the new Peterborough Operations Centre will further evidence this.

Initiatives such as offering staff Garmin activity trackers, discounts for friends and family, Westfield Health, New Leaf Wellbeing Check Points and cholesterol testing, Cycle2Work, DenPlan are all in place to support employees and their families and is linked to our sustainability plans.
