Wellbeing | Award-winning HRD reveals key to pandemic wellbeing

The Landmark London, a luxury hotel in the centre of this famous city, has recently been awarded a Healthy Workplace Award for investment in the health and wellbeing of its team during the pandemic.

Awarded specifically for the approach it showed to staff wellbeing before and during lockdown – with specific mention of clear leadership and strategic-minded action – Nicola Forshaw, Director of Human Resources at the hotel, said she “prioritises investing in our team’s wellbeing and mental health to support them in achieving a healthy lifestyle”.

It makes sense – the company was also named IIP Platinum Employer of the year 2019 as well as ranking highly on The Sunday Times ‘100 Best Companies to Work For’ 2020 list.

So, what did The Landmark do for staff to receive these accolades? Well, it included stress-awareness training, including employees with disabilities, delivering alcohol awareness courses and training mental health first aiders.
