The business payments company received the Gold Award in the Workplace Wellbeing Index awards 

London, UK – 13th July 2022:  FLEETCOR® UK today announces it has been credited with a Gold Award in the Workplace Wellbeing Index awards by Mind, the mental health charity. The Gold Award is given to employers who have successfully embedded mental health into their policies and practices. In particular, they are the organisations that demonstrate a long-term and in-depth commitment to staff mental health.

Mind reports that in 2020/21 only 58% of those who experienced poor mental health while at work felt confident that they would be supported if they disclosed it to their employer. And 46% of people who did disclose their mental health problem to their employer felt that their situation stayed the same afterwards. The charity’s Workplace Wellbeing Index is a benchmark of best policy and practice, and its awards celebrate the achievements of its participants, recognising employers taking action to prioritise better mental health in the workplace.

In its second year completing the Mind Workplace Wellbeing Index, FLEETCOR has been recognised for its commitment to mental health and wellbeing and gone one better from last year, in winning gold. This includes providing all staff managers training in managing mental health and providing specialised training to more than 20 employees to become Mental Health First Aiders.

The organisation also offers membership to meditation apps, counselling, and mental health support services for all staff, as well as holding webinars and seminars to promote awareness, and a dedicated inbox for mental health enquiries. Its Wellbeing and Mental First Health First Aiders support employees and ensure the company’s dedicated Mental and Physical Wellbeing Policy is upheld.

Paula Halliday, HR Director at FLEETCOR UK, said: “As a society, awareness around mental health is improving all the time, but implementing change takes time. That’s why we at FLEETCOR have made it a priority to reduce the stigma around mental health issues, working to create an open and supportive culture with tools in place that our employees can access at any time. This includes teaching skills that would enable our employees to better cope, and having our leaders talk openly about their experiences too.”

Alan King, FLEETCOR Group President, Global Fleet, added: “We are delighted to have been recognised by Mind for the way in which we support our employees and colleagues with their mental health. It’s important that the focus is on our staff and ensuring they are advocated for with tools and initiatives now and long into the future.”

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
