May was national walking month, so we set a challenge for our employees to Step up! Rather than setting a single target number for everyone, we encouraged each participant to set their own personal goal.

Walking towards a better wellbeing, one step at a time

To Colloide this challenge wasn’t just about a step count, but encouraged our team to make time for themselves, their wellbeing and their movement. Over the course of a month, Joanne, Andrew, Caroline, Kyle, Ryan, Emma, Diana, Brona, Marius, Robbie, Mairead, Victoria, and Sinead, achieved an incredible milestone, collectively walking more than 4.5 million steps. Wellbeing has always been an important part of Colloide, this challenge is designed to encourage employees to step away from their busy schedules and take time for themselves.

Our employees are the heart of everything we do, and their health and wellbeing are just as important. Walking has been proven to reduce stress, improve mood and increase energy levels. At Colloide we are invested in our people, and their wellbeing.

Culture at Colloide is continually nurtured through activities that bring our people together our walking challenge has helped to encourage healthy habits and build friendships in good spirits.

Our participating employees were recognised and awarded at our Tuesday morning meeting. Thank you to everyone who took part and to those who helped organise the challenge. Your enthusiasm, commitment and positivity helped make National Walking Month a great success.

Culture Hub: Nurturing a Supportive Environment

At the heart of our commitment to employee wellbeing is our Culture Hub, which serves as the cornerstone of our organisational culture. The Culture Hub embodies three pillars: Wellbeing, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and Excellence. These pillars guide our efforts to create a workplace where employees can thrive personally and professionally. At Colloide, we firmly believe that our employees are our greatest asset. That’s why we prioritise their health, happiness, and professional growth. By nurturing a supportive environment through our Culture Hub.
