About Danone
Active Health
The Danone Active Health programme puts our employees’ health and wellbeing at the heart of how we do business
Danone UK’s award-winning Active Health programme reflects both our health positioning with consumers and our company values to put our people and their health first.
The programme enables employees to maintain a healthy lifestyle while at work.
Danone Active Health encompasses a number of activities under four headings – Work, Life, Health and Food.
Work
We aim to make Danone UK an attractive, healthy and inspiring place to work, not only in its location, but in our working terms and conditions. Our office environment was created from employees’ ideas and is an open and visually inspiring place to work. Our flexible ways of working are designed to fit individuals’ lifestyle needs, such as days off to move house or to plan your wedding, and our flexible benefits were also created with our employees’ welfare in mind.
Life
On site massages, an employee assistance programme, and stress and life management training sessions all reflect our commitment to help employees maintain a healthy work/life balance. We even offer a concierge service, which carries out tasks such as booking holidays or doing the shopping, while employees are at work.
Health
When employees join Danone UK they are given an Active Health pack containing information on healthy living, a pedometer and a health passport. The passport can be used to record the results of regular checks on their blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, etc, conducted by our occupational nurse. These checks are free to all employees. In our flexible benefits package we have a wellbeing account where the company contributes half as much again to the employee’s salary donation towards activities related to wellbeing.
Food
We run regular training sessions to educate employees about diet, nutrition and wellbeing. Fresh fruit, yogurt and water are always available for employees.
