Building a Resilient Workforce: The Travis Perkins Story

Travis Perkins, a leading building materials merchant and retailer, employs a diverse workforce of 25,000 people across environments such as merchant yards, retail outlets, corporate offices, and road-based operations. Their challenge was to understand the unique pressures affecting the wellbeing of different employee groups. They aimed to develop a deliberate wellbeing strategy that addressed these factors and provided tailored support to enhance employee wellbeing and enable more Good Days at Work.

To create a targeted wellbeing strategy, Travis Perkins partnered with Robertson Cooper to leverage reliable data. Together, they deployed the Good Day at Work survey across the organisation, utilising Robertson Cooper’s core questionnaire to assess the impact of the working environment on employee wellbeing.

This approach delivered three key outputs:

  1. Organisational Insights: A comprehensive view of overall employee wellbeing, enabling Travis Perkins to implement targeted interventions and initiatives on a company-wide scale.
  2. Team-Level Reports: Specific insights into team wellbeing challenges, empowering leaders to take action and support their teams effectively.
  3. Personalised Wellbeing Snapshots: Every employee received an individual report tailored to their survey responses, offering actionable insights and signposting relevant support services.

These outputs equipped Travis Perkins with a holistic understanding of the drivers behind key outcomes, including productivity, retention, and employee advocacy, allowing them to focus on areas they could influence to improve overall wellbeing.

Travis Perkins saw transformative results as employees used their Wellbeing Snapshots to make positive changes to their wellbeing habits. Leaders initiated action-oriented wellbeing conversations within their teams, addressing unique pressures and enhancing team performance.

At an organisational level, the survey insights revealed systemic pressures across the business, enabling Travis Perkins to focus on factors with the greatest impact on Good Days at Work. This led to the development and execution of a tactical plan that improved both employee wellbeing and overall organisational performance.
