Heartbeat: Benefits grow with growers market growth

February 27, 2020

The benefits available to members of our organisation continue to increase as does the focus on healthy living with the forthcoming addition of a new fruit and veg stall for colleagues to acquire fresh produce.

Colleagues based at the Rowley Regis and City hospitals are likely aware that there is already a stand that allows staff to get their ‘five a day’ run by an external company at these sites, but not at Sandwell General Hospital. This will soon be changing after a partner for the Sandwell area was found to run the service.

“We’re pleased to announce that soon colleagues at Sandwell will be able to get their daily healthy food fix courtesy of a fruit and veg stand which will be open from Monday to Friday 8am until 4pm. This joins the stands already available at Rowley Regis and City Hospital,” explained Head of Engagement and Retention, Amir Ali.

“When it comes to benefits at our organisation we try to keep things as balanced as possible with services and schemes available at all our major sites. This is especially true of our healthy living benefits, with the City gym site getting an overhaul at the end of last year and now Sandwell joining its fellow hospitals with a healthy eating partner.”

Please keep an eye on the daily internal bulletin for details of when the scheme goes live.
