Health and Wellbeing

Health and Wellbeing at Hitachi Rail. Human wellbeing is influenced by a wide range of factors in both personal and work life. Hitachi Rail addresses this by offering an array of benefits depending on location, including: private medical insurance for all new employees, flexible working options, competitive employer pension contributions and life assurance, a full suite of optional additional benefits via salary sacrifice including buy/sell holidays, income protection, gym discounts, and additional access to healthcare screening and services. The BeWell framework highlights five pillars: Physically Well (information and facilities for physical wellbeing), Mentally Well (environment supporting mental wellbeing), Valued and Included (recognition and sense of team), Financially Well (information and support for financial planning), and Learning and Growing (opportunities to learn new skills and develop careers). Global Wellbeing Programmes include Health and Fitness initiatives in Australia (10,000 steps challenge, Bridge to Brisbane fun run), Menopause Support and Awareness in the UK (training, support network, working towards menopause friendly employer accreditation), and Project VA.BENE in Italy.
