Internal Wellbeing Committee

We created an internal wellbeing committee from collective departments within the company to be the voice of the whole team. We focus on four pillars of wellbeing to ensure our team are fully supported and confident at work: Physical, Mental, Financial and Social.

​

Physical

Whether it's fundraising for charity or challenging each other to keep active, there's no doubt we like to keep active.

Every year we set ourselves goals to achieve that test our physical ablity as a group. Previous endeavours include:

• Running Manchester 10k to fundraise for Dementia UK

• Climbing Mt Snowdon for Mind UK

• Tackling Three Peaks (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike & Mt Snowdon) in 24 Hours for Cancer Research UK

• Our weekly 7-a-side football tournament

We also host our own monthly virtual yoga and meditation sessions. This is something our teams can enjoy globally together to breathe it in and stretch it out.

​

​

Mental

Mental health is something we take very seriously at Amicus. We have a wide-open-door policy, where employees can access any member of management at any time to talk something over.

Our volunteering initiative also helps our team members to feel good about themselves by helping others and those less fortunate.

We give our team two full-paid days to volunteer somewhere to make sure Amicus is helping have a positive impact on its local community.

​

​

Financial

We help the team reach their financial goals in one-to-ones as well as providing specialist external support from finance experts to help the team understand how to manage their money effectively.

​

​

Social

We involve our team in non-drinking group outings like The Cube Experience, pottery classes, all expenses paid networking events and more.

We genuinely listen to what our team have to say. That’s why as part of our social focus, we introduced Amicus Women’s Lunch. A lunch club to support the women in the team and help them feel heard in a male-dominated industry.

Our Chosen Charities

Mind UK

In 2022, our team bravely tackled Mt Snowdon and raised a grand total of £3,514 for Mind UK.

Mental health is particularly important to us internally so it's only right we advocate those supporting mental health out of the office.

Mind provides advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. They campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding.

​

Cancer Research UK

​Cancer Research UK is a vital cause endeavouring to progress the search for effective cancer treatments in the UK.

It's a cause close to a lot of hearts on our team. We're pursuing funds for the charity by climbing three peaks in 24 hours across Scotland, England and Wales in April 2024.
