🌱WORKPLACE HEALTH & WELLBEING

At Huntlee Academy, we believe that the health and wellbeing of our employees are the roots that support our growth and success. Thats why were committed to fostering a workplace environment where every team member feels safe, valued, and empowered to be their best.
 
Our holistic approach to employee wellness encompasses all aspects of wellbeing — mental, physical, emotional and social. This month, Huntlee Academy is highlighting physical health with initiatives designed to keep our people feeling their best. 

From providing fully-funded flu vaccinations to ensure our team stays healthy during cold and flu season, sending our team leaders to safety leadership seminars so theyre well-equipped to model and encourage best practices, to conducting audiometric testing to educate employees on how to protect their hearing—were walking the walk when it comes to investing in the physical health of our people.
 
We recognise that employees who are new to the industry or still in training may need extra support to learn how to properly safeguard their wellbeing, especially when it comes to hearing protection. So, in addition to testing, were doubling down on education and resources to set every employee up for success in growing a safe, and sustainable career. 

At the end of the day, the health, happiness and safety of our employees is our top priority—and well continue to seek out new ways to nurture a culture of holistic wellness here at Huntlee Academy, today and well into the future.
