It’s fair to say that the COVID-19 outbreak is testing companies in ways that they never thought possible. It’s also debatable that the current global pandemic has redirected businesses not only from an operational perspective, but also from a social angle.

One of the biggest adjustments, is the number of office-based employees now working from home and remaining indoors away from friends and family. Such a dramatic shift in our behaviours could affect our wellbeing and mental health. Long before the COVID-19 crisis, social technologies were a part of our job and our everyday lives, but today they are more than that.

Engage, connect and support

As an employer and understanding the potential ‘stress’ during uncertain times, Chevron are working to keep morale high. Today, digital communication represents a vital tool in our wellbeing and mental health, having an impact on how we are feeling and how well we are in our daily activities. People at Chevron who are now operating from home, are now all connected using Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

They are being encouraged to take scheduled tea/coffee and biscuits breaks and hold video calls between team members to discuss anything other than business itself. This has been set up to ensure that employees do not feel isolated and showcase that even when working from home, Chevron are encouraging social communication, working relationships and friendships.

Tim Cockayne, Chevron CEO told us: “We spend 60% of our days at work with staff who become friends as well as colleagues, so communication is key to keep these relationships strong and to build wellbeing for each other throughout what is a time of adjustment for many.”

Chevron Wellbeing Hub

Being an active advocate of Mental Health Awareness, Chevron have launched a new microsite – The Wellbeing HUB - Appointing mental health as a core priority, Chevron provides an open supportive culture for employees to access support and to enjoy a healthy life. With multiple categories to choose from, the HUB, provides not only useful information in regards of Work, Emotional & Physical Health and Family, but also tips and facts on how to cope and thrive in these current times.

The Wellbeing HUB is available to all and can be accessed via the Chevron website HERE.

Thank you for your help. The works to the bridge were completed and great teamwork from both crews. I had a good view from the bridge and was very impressed by their work. Always said it....TM is an art form!

Please accept our thanks your team’s efforts on this project. Chevron have been brilliant, nothing has been too much to ask of you and we have delivered to programme despite the complexities of working at these junctions. Look forward to working with you in the future, I think it’s forged a good relationship between us.

Marlow Carnival 2017

Can I please express my thanks on behalf of everyone at Kier for the exceptional aptitude and attitude shown by one of your site teams who were engaged in a recent local community project. As with any town centre closure there were some ‘challenges’ thrown at the crew but their attitude and commitment to the safety of the children, parents and support groups was second to none. It’s lovely to be able to write this reference to your colleagues, please pass on my most sincere thanks.

Area 3 ASC- Emergency Narrow Lane Scheme, M27 J12

Another great success for Area 3. To turn this around in such a short space of time due to the nature of the repair and the location is a credit to you and your teams. Well done!

A404 Resurfacing

Could I say a big thank you to yourselves and to all your crews which were on site at the A404 Resurfacing scheme last night. I have spoken to the Tarmac site supervisor from the Chieveley depot this morning who was very appreciative of how helpful and how good it was to work with the crew that was on site.
