At Dimensions, we take the health and wellbeing of all our colleagues seriously. We have a number of initiatives in place to support our colleagues, including our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and access to Mental Health First Aid.
Dimensions is proud to have been recognised as a UK’s Best Workplace™ for Wellbeing for two years running, by Great Place to Work® UK!
Our EAP scheme, provided by Care First, is designed to provide you with information, advice, and confidential practical or emotional support to help you deal with virtually all aspects of life, whether you’re experiencing stresses with work or home life, or need advice with legal or consumer issues.
At Dimensions, our EAP is part of our colleague benefits and wellbeing package, and assistance is available 24/7 over the phone, online, webchat or via the Care First App.
All calls and webchat conversations are answered by qualified counsellors who can provide in-the-moment counselling if needed, as well as practical advice.
Colleagues are also eligible for eight free counselling sessions, either face-to-face, by telephone or by video call (with BSL interpreter if required).
At Dimensions, we have a network of Mental Health First Aiders to provide our colleagues with support in the event they experience issues relating to mental health.
