InkTec has aligned with The Printing Charity as part of its initiative to support employees in terms of their wellbeing.
“With rising energy costs and concerns about the economy, it is important for people’s wellbeing and mental health that we support our employees. As The Printing Charity really understands our business and the industry we operate within this was an obvious connection for us to make,” said InkTec MD Joey Kim.
Neil Lovell, CEO at The Printing Charity, added: “We’re delighted to be working with InkTec to complement its existing employee welfare and wellbeing activities through our 24/7/365 helpline, and to have its support for the other initiatives we run for people working in print, such as our Rising Star Awards for young people. We’re here for people working in print, paper, packaging and graphics throughout their careers and into retirement, and with the support of organisations such as InkTec we have the opportunity to extend the support we can provide even more widely across the industry, helping us to be there for anyone who needs us.”
The collaboration with The Printing Charity complements a number of initiatives InkTec has instigated internally over the last few years to support employees. These include an in-house honesty larder, with a range of lunch food options and treats where the team can help themselves in return for making a monetary donation depending on what they can afford. Any surplus funds at the end of each year is then donated to their local food bank. Last year resulted in a donation of £500 to the Witney Food Bank. In addition, there are monthly mental and health wellbeing communications shared with the whole team. These are designed to encourage them to regularly reach out to each other, share thoughts and challenge themselves to try new things.
