Physical health

Recent studies show that around 7.7 million people of working age in the UK are registered as disabled or have a health condition that makes it challenging to carry out daily tasks. We want to tackle the stigma associated with these health problems.

We are proud to be a Disability Confident Level 2 Employer. Our commitment to ensuring our vacancies are accessible by making adjustments for individuals with disabilities helps us recruit and retain great people whilst demonstrating our commitment to workplace equality to our clients.

Physical inactivity is associated with 1 in 6 deaths in the UK. Exercise can prevent and manage over 20 chronic conditions and diseases, including reducing the risk of Dementia and Alzheimer’s by up to 30%. This is why Atalian Servest has partnered with The Gym to offer discounted gym memberships to all our colleagues.

Disabilities, visible or not, should not hinder an individual’s quality of life or career. We are committed to breaking down barriers and making facilities management a more accessible industry.

Mental health

Mental health is a state of well-being in which a person understands their abilities, can cope with the everyday stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully by contributing to their community. 1 in 4 adults and 1 in 10 children experience mental illness, and many more of us know and care for people who do.

Atalian Servest is proud to support the charity Mind. They provide support and advice for those struggling with mental health problems, while also campaigning for legislative changes regarding mental health.

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown new challenges at all of us. Many people developed mental health problems for the first time. Others have existing issues that have grown worse due to isolation and stress. We offer courses on mental health through OpportUnity, our learning and development platform which are accessible to all Atalian Servest colleagues.

If you ever feel like you are struggling with your mental health, or are worried about one of your colleagues, please email one of our mental health first aiders at wellbeing.supportuk.gb.servest@atalianworld.com.

How to Join

There are two ways you can join the Physical & Mental Health committee; as a committee or network member. Committee members have a more active role, whereas network members share their passion, ideas and experiences to influence the committee.

Each network will decide how they would like to promote and drive their D&I topic throughout the year. This could be through attending events such as Pride, joining professional networks such as LGBTinFM, sharing personal stories with the business on mental health, ethnic origin or disability, or creating a reverse mentoring programme. As a committee or network member, the aims and objectives that you’d like to achieve will be set and driven by you.
