Physical and mental health at work
Today is World Day for Safety and Health at Work. This day is important because employee wellbeing matters at all Unilin locations. That includes both physical and mental wellbeing. How can we create a sustainable and safe working environment in which all employees feel well and able to develop? 'Our Home' is an important part of our One Home sustainability strategy. "We focus on sharing best practices and learning from each other," Sarah Van Marcke, Unilin Learning & Wellbeing Manager, says. "That is what gradually leads us to a wide range of services that every colleague can access."

When Abraham Djela (26) joined Unilin Insulation in Waregem – Belgium in February, he didn't speak a word of Dutch, but that didn’t stop his professional development one bit. In just a few months' time, Abraham attended Dutch language coaching sessions and completed several internal training courses. This has enabled him to work as an operator of no less than two machines. His secret? “An open mind will get you much further."
