Wellbeing
Our commitment to the wellbeing of our people is at the heart of everything we do. We recognise the need to adopt a holistic, ‘whole person’ approach to how we think about the wellbeing of our workforce. We believe this is the best way to foster the family feel we strive for at Colart and to be able to deal with and react to changing needs to deliver our strategic goals.
We have created a network of Colart employees called the Wellbeing Ambassadors who are committed to organising our wellbeing calendar based on a programme of physical, social and mental/emotional initiatives. These activities and events are tailored to suit each Colart site around the world and includes holistic activities that care for all aspects of your wellbeing.

Wellbeing and our Values
Our four values being openness, passion, innovation and quality) describe how we do things at Colart. They ensure that we’re all working together and pulling in the same direction. We believe that by living these values, we create a strong culture that supports and nurtures a happy, engaged and productive workforce.
The Colart Way brings these values to life through leadership behaviours that relate to all of us whether we lead ourselves, lead others, and/or lead the business working collaboratively to reach our vision.
However, none of this is possible if we do not look after our most valuable asset - our People. This is why with our People First principle we see the importance of a strong wellbeing platform to support you in all aspects of your health whether emotional, mental, physical or social.
All the activities initiated by the Wellbeing Ambassadors together with our Employee Assistance Programme support this so that we can enhance the unity of our company at every level.
