Wellbeing Workforce
Promoting Health, Safety, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Lifelong Learning within a Supportive Culture.
People are at the heart of our organisation. They give the best of themselves every single day in the office, in the warehouse or on the road, so that you can get the parts you need when you need them.
We don’t take this for granted. In line with our company values, we want our employees to act with joy in a safe, open-minded environment. An environment where people can pursue excellence, take initiative and show courage.
Safety First!
The wellbeing of our employees begins with ensuring a safe and healthy environment for all our colleagues. That’s why we will be rolling out the global Safety Bee program at the end of 2024. This program puts the responsibility of each and everyone’s safety in our own hands with local and global initiatives. One of our current priorities includes a set of lifesaving rules:
- Standardizing the use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
- Enforcing safe driving rules on TVH sites
- Setting out emergency procedures
- Facilitating line-of-fire initiatives - safe ways of working
Additionally, we’re onboarding local Health and Safety Leads to keep safety support as close as possible to the workforce. Local teams investigate each incident using root cause analysis and take preventive actions where possible.
In 2025, each TVH branch will undergo a Site Safety Assessment, and standardized results will be reported in a global safety report. Improving safety is an ongoing effort that combines local and global initiatives.
Wellbeing
We want everyone to feel good at work and beyond. With our Nudge program, we’re committed to supporting everyone’s healthy, active and balanced lifestyles. How? By offering gentle nudges for our wellbeing activities.
- Nudge stars: Every year, 20 colleagues get the opportunity to train for six months with professional guidance and compete in the TVH Triathlon.
- Nudge challenges: Do you like challenges? Then TVH sure has one for you! With the Global Plank Challenge, Lignaverda Challenge, and Healthy Snack Competition, there are no limits to what we can do.
- Nudge themes: The Nudge program offers three topics each year, where we dive deep into a specific subject. Mental Wellbeing, Healthy Habits and Dynamic Working are just some of the topics we’ve embraced before.
- And more: There are plenty of local initiatives, such as fruit distribution, yoga and running groups.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
At TVH, we welcome and celebrate every single person. We foster an inclusive environment with people of every gender, race, ability, philosophy and background. Diversity, equity and inclusion are embedded in our core processes and provide equal opportunities for people from all backgrounds. In addition, we also celebrate diversity through various activities:
- TVH Woman’s network: Business networking that sets women in motion.
- Culture in the Spotlight: Raising awareness about cultural diversity and sharing experiences on successfully collaborating across cultures.
- DEI espresso shots: Introduction and panel discussions about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
