Excellence in Wellbeing

We are delighted to announce that Wilderness Scotland has received an Excellence in Wellbeing Award from the Great Place to Work awards scheme.

This scheme is the largest workplace survey in the world and we’re so pleased to be recognised and also appreciate the valuable feedback that we’ve received through the process. At Wilderness Scotland and Ireland we really advocate a healthy work-life balance and mental wellbeing.

To be recognised for this award our staff were surveyed on the below dimensions that define wellbeing

• Work environment
• Financial security
• Mental and physical health
• Interpersonal relationships
• Work-life balance
• Fulfilment at work

Some of our shared team benefits
