health and wellness

We need to create a safe and healthy working environment to enable employees to thrive. As a Food retailer, we should inspire our customers to make healthy choices by providing a wide range of healthy food options.

STRATEGY

We strongly advocate for protecting employee and customer health and wellness.

Our employees are central to our health and wellness strategy. We aim to create a safe and healthy environment with the necessary support structures for employees to thrive at work and home. This includes providing them with relevant and accessible occupational health and wellness programmes to meet their diverse needs.

Our customers prioritise their families’ health and safety. Therefore, we aim to be a one-stop shop for our customers’ health and wellness food needs.

The Woolworths Health Manifesto outlines ways to inspire customers to choose balanced and healthy lifestyles. We aim to:

  • Make healthy eating satisfying, delicious, and convenient across our product ranges
  • Provide a variety of healthy food options, including plant-based meals
  • Innovate to improve the nutritional quality of our food
  • Promote informed choices through clear nutrition labelling

MANAGEMENT APPROACH

We use an established operational occupational health and wellness model across the Group to address employees’ mental and physiological health. We partner with a network of service providers to assist employees.

We monitor the usage and success of wellness services and programmes across our regions and evolve our offerings based on this feedback. We focus on employees identified through wellness assessments who are at high risk.

Customer wellness is based on implementing the Woolworths Health Manifesto through all product development stages and providing appropriate training to the food and marketing teams.
