Lincoln College scoops national CIPD award

Lincoln College has picked up a national CIPD People Management Award for Best Health and Wellbeing Initiative - Public/Third Sector Category.

Against an exceptionally strong field of finalists, Lincoln College's benefits platform 'You Matter' took the award following an interview and presentation process. The platform is utilised across three campuses in Lincoln and Newark.

You Matter brings together health, wellbeing, reward and recognition into one organisation-wide approach.

Built around six interconnected themes, Mind, Body, Soul, Money, Family and Recognition, the initiative was designed to give College staff inclusive, preventative and flexible support that reflects the different needs of the workforce.    

Mark Locking, CEO & Principal says: "This is a win that belongs to everyone. Words fail to express how proud I am for our people to win this award. It is much more than a programme or a trophy. It recognises what can happen when wellbeing becomes something we all have a part in.  

It is also another important milestone in our ambition to be an Employer of Choice, creating a workplace where people feel valued, cared for and supported to be at their best. 

Handed the title at a glittering awards ceremony at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House, London, the College fought off other organisations in the category, Abu Dhabi Customs, NHS Property Services, Birmingham Hippodrome, Leeds College of Building, Manchester Metropolitan
University and the University of Salford.
