This week, we want to shine a spotlight on Carlos at Argyll for going the extra mile ⭐ Tiago, the Supervisor for the site team, shared some fantastic praise: "Carlos is super professional, always present, always keen to help, and he does all of that with a beautiful smile. He’s also very thorough and his attention to detail is sharp as a falcon eye." What wonderful feedback! Thank you, Carlos, for your hard work and dedication! #AboveAndBeyond #EmployeeRecognition

On World Mental Health Awareness Day, we'd like to shine a light on the work we do to ensure our employees feel they are supported in the workplace. Today, we took the opportunity to get everyone at our head office together, and encourage them to talk about their mental health – to us, to our mental health first aiders, our employee assistance programme, or simply to someone outside of our organisation. We all have mental health, and it’s so important to be open and receptive to those who could be struggling. If you ask someone if they’re okay, try to be sure, perhaps ask them twice? What is our employee assistance programme? We are fully signed up to Health Assured to give our employees free health and wellbeing support, accessible 24/7 and confidential for any work related or personal challenges they may face. Health Assured has been voted the best workplace wellbeing provider for four consecutive years. #WorldMentalHealthDay #HealthAssured #EmployeeWellbeing

As the new Living Wage rates are being announced later this month, we thought it would be a good time to mention our MD, Steve Trew sits on the Foundation’s Recognised Service Provider Leadership Group. Steve recently attended a meeting which dissected important topics, including a discussion with CIPS - giving us further insight into the importance of The Living Wage Foundation and how we can help encourage service providers to work with them. GreenZone are proud to be a Recognised Service Provider, promoting fair pay in the cleaning industry and encouraging others, one contract at a time. Why not join us? The Living Wage Foundation has published a toolkit to help service providers be a part of promoting the real Living Wage. The toolkit outlines the benefits of paying the Living Wage, both to businesses and their employees, and runs through how you can accredit to formally join the movement. We are passionate about the environment but also believe that all companies, including ours, should strive to pay their employees a fair wage. This will not only improve the lives of individuals but also strengthen communities and create a more equitable society.   The toolkit can be found on the Living Wage Foundation website here: https://lnkd.in/etunFwSR Let's support fair pay, together. #TheLivingWageFoundation #LivingWage #RecognisedServiceProviders #SustainableCleaning

In 1987, countries united under the Montreal Protocol to protect the ozone layer. It's a testament to human cooperation and a reminder of our collective responsibility to care for our planet. We're proud to have been supporting the work of Cool Earth for many years. Cool Earth back the people that live in the rainforest to continue to protect and nurture it - recognising these vital ecosystems are crucial in protecting the ozone layer and combating climate change.

It's FSC Forest Week! Let’s take a moment to celebrate our incredible collaboration with Trees for Cities 🌳 As the UK’s sole charity focused on transforming urban lives through tree planting, Trees for Cities is making a significant impact both nationally and internationally. Since 1993, they've planted an astounding 1,756,739 trees! Their mission to create healthy, accessible, and resilient urban forests aligns with our own values, especially as our head office is located near Battersea Park—a vibrant green space that embodies the importance of urban greenery. We began supporting Trees for Cities in 2012 and are excited to keep our partnership flourishing this year with a £1,000 donation to help fund their vital projects. Stay tuned as we share updates on our joint mission toward positive environmental change. #TreesForCities #EnvironmentalImpact #SustainableCleaning

In the UK, the Gender Pay Gap was reported at 14.3% in among all employees in April 2023, according to the Office for National Statistics. Our recent Gender Pay Gap report indicates a median gender pay gap of approximately just 2.5%. Although the ideal situation would be no pay gap, we believe our gender pay gap is not due to unequal pay for the same or similar roles. Instead, it arises from the different positions men and women occupy within our organisation, along with the salaries those roles command. As we've just passed International Equal Pay Day, we want to emphasise that all our employees have equal access to internal promotion opportunities — a priority we’ve maintained over the years.
