On Tuesday 5th April, Welland Medical celebrated the launch of their new values, laying the foundation to support Welland’s purpose, enhancing people’s lives, every day.

Improvements have been made throughout the business, including making Hydehurst their home; creating an inspirational space with new colleague focused designs. In collaboration with fellow Manor Royal business Treetops, large-scale graphics, bespoke water bottle and values leaflet were produced.

As part of the future communication development, Welland has introduced a couple of new initiatives to improve the feedback between Senior Management and colleagues. To compliment their flagship product range, Aurum® with Manuka honey they found it fitting to name their new colleague feedback platform, ‘The Hive’.

Using the motto “The hum of bees is the voice of the garden”, Champions from each department, proactively seek views and feedback from colleagues to discuss in The Hive each month. Working together isn’t just an important lesson for humans, it’s also precisely how honeybees survive high winds. As they cluster into a hanging hive, they begin to behave like a single superorganism that can detect and respond to sheer forces in a way that would not be possible for any one individual bee*.

Samantha Jackson, Managing Director said “Welland understands that a large part of our colleagues day is spent at work, so it is our aim to create a place where people feel valued, can express their creativity, inspire new ideas, and succeed. Together, We Are Welland.”
