Volunteering
WGM’s employee volunteering policy entitles each employee to volunteer one day to support a cause or organisation of their choice. The volunteering day can either be used individually to support a charity close to an employee’s heart or as part of a team effort to support a larger community project. As the business continues to expand, we are seeking every opportunity to strengthen and develop the workforce by providing opportunities in the communities we operate. This includes continuing to grow our successful apprenticeship programme, which will expand over the next five years.
At WGM, we understand the impact our actions have on the wider community, and we are committed to improving our social and corporate responsibility. Our goal is to develop a motivated, satisfied and diverse workforce, where every employee is treated fairly and equitably and has opportunities for career progression. We place great importance on employee wellbeing, and we have a growing number of qualified mental health first aiders. We have active employee engagement, wellbeing and equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) groups that meet regularly and share ideas at our employee-led People Steering Group. Members of the WGM wellbeing group recently took part in a pedometer challenge, which promoted wellbeing and raised money for The Lighthouse Club, a charity that supports the wellbeing of construction workers.
