Breeze Motor Group selects Bridge Health & Wellbeing as their new employee wellbeing partner
Dorset-based Bridge Health & Wellbeing is delighted to have been chosen by Breeze Motor Group to support their new staff wellbeing plan.
Breeze Motor Group is a family-owned and managed motor business, operating Volkswagen Van Centres in Poole, Southampton and Portsmouth, Coastal Car Sales in Poole and Bournemouth TPS. They have recently opened their first Breeze Suzuki dealership in Poole.
People have always been at the heart of the Breeze business. But with the management team very aware of the difficulties staff have faced over the past two years, the company was keen to do even more to support their talented team.
Mark Langford, Managing Director at Breeze Motor Group, said, “As a major local employer, we want to offer a best-in-class employee experience, and we know that means supporting our staff with their health and wellbeing. Through our new wellbeing plan, all employees will be able to access support from Bridge Health & Wellbeing, as well as a range of other services to support both their physical and mental health.”
Supporting staff health and wellbeing is vital for maximising staff retention and minimising time lost to employee sickness but, for Mark and his management team, it is much more than that. “When we welcome a new employee to Breeze, they become part of the family. We work hard to achieve our business goals but also recognise the importance of having fun along the way. Having happy and healthy staff means we can ensure our customers have the best possible experience every time they visit us.”
Paul O’Connell, lead physiotherapist and co-founder of Bridge Health & Wellbeing, added, “Mark and I met at a local business networking event, and I was pleased to hear him talk passionately about supporting his staff. As partners for their employee wellbeing programme, we will be providing physiotherapy assessment and follow up for any members of staff that need it. Over the coming months, we hope to add sports massage services and then potentially Pilates, yoga and other wellbeing classes on-site, depending on staff demand.
Health and wellbeing at work are vitally important. As an employer, you want your staff to be engaged, productive, happy and, most importantly, healthy. We work with businesses across Dorset to improve sickness rates, support people in work, improve productivity and demonstrate how much companies care about their most important asset – their people.“
