TEN PODCASTS!

August saw the release of our tenth monthly podcast with Workplace Experience Designer, Will Easton. This was yet another inspiring conversation and I just love them: it’s a joy to talk to people who are experts in their field about subjects they know and love. It seems our growing listenership agrees! For Episode 11 (released at 6:30am on September 2nd), producer Graham Coath and I will be reviewing the first ten conversations and highlighting some of the key topics. There will also be a chance to win some ‘merch’! Watch this space for more details.

INCLUSIVE WELLBEING SERVICES

iwsOur new division is up and running after our soft launch at the end of last month. Expect to see and hear much more about this as our client base grows. If you are involved in the development or delivery of your corporate EDI programme, take a look at our new website here but, if you are in an Occupational Health or Health & Safety role, you will probably be more interested in our range of services brochure here.

QUALITY & ENVIRONMENT

iso9001We have just had our latest ISO9001/ISO14001 audit with zero non-conformities. We have held this certification since 2007 and, in 17 years, our audits have never identified more than one minor non-conformity. Our IMS (Integrated Management System) is central to the consistent delivery of high-quality products and services and we take pride in the recognition this certificate confers.

NEW WEBSITE – SOON!

newwebWe have been working on a new platform for ergonomics.co.uk for many months. We set some demanding objectives when we started the redesign and progress has been slower than we planned. However, it will be launched before the next eBulletin with more intuitive layouts, clearer information and a slicker shop. All previous functions will be retained and enhanced features will be added. Watch out for the new look!

MEETING YOUR EDI NEEDS

We are delighted to announce the official launch of Osmond Inclusive Wellbeing Services, the result of extensive research into corporate wellbeing and EDI programmes.

We have been examining neurodiversity, menopause, sleep deprivation, vision and hearing impairment to identify everything we need to expand our proven legacy offering into a truly holistic package. After more than a year of planning, Osmond IWS has new services, personnel, and partners, all of which are dovetailed with the same quality, care, integrity, and commitment you already know and recognise. Importantly, our existing Customer Service team will remain the central point of contact for both new and existing requirements.

In the paragraphs below, I have provided information about where to find out more, but if you have a burning need right now, call 0345 345 0898!

Equally, if neurodiversity, vision and hearing impairment, menopause or sleep deprivation are not part of your brief, please forward this email to any colleague(s) you think would be interested.

OIWS WEBSITE

oiwswebOur new website at www.oiws.co.uk looks at Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) in a corporate context, illustrating the benefits of a diverse workforce and investing in wellbeing. It lays out ways we can help and the processes we use.

INSIGHT PACK

iwsinsightEmployers are getting to grips with EDI and this is the context for our Insight Pack. It outlines what brought us to this point, provides examples of successful EDI integration and provides some data about the return on investment in wellbeing programmes. You can request the Insight Pack here..

OIWS BROCHURE

iwsservicesThe brochure illustrates all the different services we offer. Our portfolio comes from extensive research into what is already offered and what is in demand. You can access it directly here.

WHAT NEXT FOR THE EBULLETIN?

ebulletin2

From next month, the eBulletin will contain both Osmond Ergonomics and Osmond IWS content. One day, perhaps the two divisions will have separate communications but, for the time being, our one monthly email will contain the usual mix of news, research, insights and information but, now, with two perspectives. It will also go back to publication at 11:30am on the 2nd Wednesday of the month.
