Rachel Gothard Mealmore Group press office

Supporting our colleagues' family lives is a cornerstone of our values at Meallmore. We understand that fostering a balanced and inclusive work environment not only benefits our employees but also enhances the quality of care we provide to our residents.

This commitment was recently reflected in our celebration of a successful care inspection with a family fun day, bringing together colleagues, their families, and residents for a day filled with joy and connection. Events like these are more than just social gatherings; they strengthen our community, allowing families to connect with the workplace in meaningful ways.

At Meallmore, we follow the Each model, treating our colleagues as adults, consumers, and humans. This approach is central to how we shape our people policies, ensuring they evolve to meet the changing needs of our teams. We recognise that our employees' lives are dynamic, and we strive to create a work environment that adapts and supports their personal and professional growth.

By continually refining our policies and focusing on what works best for our colleagues, we create a happier, more productive workplace. This not only makes our employees feel valued but also reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional care to our residents.

At Meallmore, we believe that by supporting our colleagues in their personal lives, we build a stronger, more engaged, and motivated workforce, ultimately benefiting everyone in our community.
