The Olive Awards
Hawkins Muiderman, sponsors the first ever Olive Awards
For the first time in the wellness and integrated health industry, an innovative awards programme has been launched to recognise and celebrate exceptional employers. The Olive Awards will identify the highest quality employers of all sizes, providing companies with the incentive and tools necessary to measure employee satisfaction across a range of areas including: Recruitment and retention; Training and personal development; Company values and motivations; Social and environment responsibility; Health and safety.
Companies eligible to enter the awards include spas, beauty and nail salons, health clubs and leisure centres; hair salons; retailers of beauty products and all suppliers to these sectors including product houses and equipment manufacturers.
The Awards highlight the need for employers to take responsibility for sustainability in relation to both their people and the environment, acknowledging and rewarding those companies which have a vision to be a 'Business of the Future'.
The simple and transparent process to measure companies entails a percentage of employees completing confidential online questionnaires. The questions have been developed in conjunction with Dr Tracy Morgan who is a specialist within the field of physical and psychological wellness.
