Archwood Group has successfully maintained the prestigious ‘We Invest in Wellbeing’ Gold accreditation by Investors in People for three consecutive years.
The accreditation highlights organisations that create a culture of wellbeing excellence and recognises the timber manufacturer’s ongoing commitment to employee health, wellbeing and personal development across all its sites.
Archwood Group’s achievement of gold status reflects its proactive approach to fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace, the firm said. The company’s wellbeing strategy ensures employees have equal opportunities, dedicated spaces to work and socialise and access to initiatives that promote mental health and welfare.
With an average employee tenure of 15 years, Archwood Group places significant emphasis on staff development, retention and wellbeing, ensuring long-term stability and success. As a family-run business with a 150-year heritage, the company’s commitment spans its North Wales headquarters in Chirk, operations in Scotland and a nationwide team.
Josh Burbidge, Managing Director of Archwood Group, said:
