Mark Tinson, the managing director of Hills Homes, says: “The standard of companies from across the UK that were shortlisted at the BSG awards was extremely high. It was therefore fantastic to see Hills and our HR team, who created and implemented the wellbeing hub in conjunction with colleagues from the communications department, receive the well-earned recognition.
“I am extremely proud of the HR team and their efforts in winning this award. It not only reinforces how highly regarded we view them within the Homes Division, it will also put more visibility on what is an excellent platform and will hopefully result in even more of our employees making use of the benefits it provides.”
Pamela Hunt, the director of HR at The Hills Group adds: “This award reflects our commitment to fostering a culture where wellbeing is not just a priority but a core part of how we operate. Our people are our greatest strength, and this achievement reinforces the importance of listening, supporting, and investing in wellbeing.”
Building Safety Group
The Building Safety Group jusdges said: “To increase mental health awareness throughout the business, Hills chose to build its own wellbeing hub which would help to support the professional and private lives of staff. The hub was developed and launched on a user-friendly platform offering mental and physical support, as well as lifestyle and financial advice. Results have been spectacular with employees actively and regularly engaging with the new platform, which has had a measurable and positive impact on morale.”
