“这是关于战略性地思考，要保护人们的安全，不仅是在工作，而且在家里，或者与他们的朋友、同事和家人一起，”黛博拉说优秀的雇主通过提供支持情绪、心理健康和安全的东西，超越了健康的身体方面。”
Through its extensive network of clients, suppliers and local businesses, Unipart has gained first-hand, leading-edge insights into some of the adjustments employers are making to support wellbeing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
“看到这么多公司以这样积极的方式作出反应，真是太好了，”黛博拉继续说简单但重要的步骤，如改变疾病政策，可以确保员工不被置于必须在做正确事情（如自我隔离）和做需要的事情之间做出选择的位置，而要把食物摆在桌上。”
Unipart has been especially keen to remain agile and adaptive throughout the pandemic to meet the needs of staff working from home, and also to support line managers as they provide support to others.
联办开展了更新和改进的培训，帮助直线经理寻找同事们正在努力的迹象，并向管理人员提供信心，让他们能够专心倾听，支持同事。
“We’ve worked hard to support our line managers” Deborah says, “as they play such a key role in supporting people. We want to assure colleagues that it is ok not to be ok, and equip line managers with the necessary tools and skills to manage difficult conversations.”
“It’s an understatement to say that life has been more difficult for everyone during the pandemic” says Frank. “Those people going into work have had to learn new ways of working, new ways of behaving, and sometimes change lifelong habits to ensure they stay safe.”
In order to ensure it has a complete understanding of employee wellbeing, Unipart has conducted regular surveys with staff over the past year. “In many companies, people working from home have reported a completely different levels of stress ranging from isolation, to dealing with increases in workload” Frank explains, “but our HR and communications teams have done a great job in getting these issues on the table, and helping our people to look after their mental health.”
There is a strong business imperative for taking a caring, supportive approach to employee health and wellbeing, and also for recognising differences in individual needs. Deborah outlines how Unipart has worked hard to avoid thinking of solutions as ‘one size fits all’.
“在一部分，注重个人的前提是我们的方针的基础。我们广泛地分享信息，使同事能够考虑自己的心理健康，并提供工具包、建议和指导，以签署我们的人民可以用来照顾他们的福祉的行动和资源，或在需要时寻求进一步的支持。”
