THE BEGINNINGS OF UNILEVER
WHO ARE WE?
Unilever was formed in
1930 from two companies:
Margarine Unie and Lever
Brothers
It was a full business
merger, operating as a
single business entity

THE MAN AND THE VISION

“To make cleanliness common place;
to lessen work for women; to
foster health and contribute to
personal attractiveness, that life
may be more enjoyable and
rewarding, for the people who use
our products”

SUSTAINABLE LIVING
The differentiator in our business model is our
Sustainable Living Plan and the goal of
sustainable living.
PAUL POLMAN - CEO
“Under the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan we want to
improve the health and wellbeing of a billion people around
the world. A key part of that is the wellbeing of our own
people, not only their physical health, but just as importantly
their mental health, particularly at times of change and
uncertainty. By listening and responding to their emotional
needs we give people a much better chance of fulfilling their
true potential, which is good for them and good for the
company.”

UK WELLBEING PLAN
Working towards ensuring both mental and physical health
are an equal priority within our organisation:
 A culture supporting an holistic approach to health
 Line managers lead and manage things that influence
and support a culture of health and wellbeing in the
workplace
 Excellent information, support and care to employees
who experience ill health for whatever reason and
energising employees to be the best they can be at both
work and home
LAMPLIGHTER IN THE UK
A common framework with a common set of tools
under four pillars – each with specific national and
site KPI’s
Leadership &
Management
Communication &
Culture
Building Resilience
& Developing
Employee Wellbeing
Support
Managers who
understand physical
and mental wellbeing
as a core element of
their people
management, and
leaders who consider
an individuals total
wellbeing as part of
business decisionmaking and capability
building.
A performance culture
is a healthy and
resilient culture, where
mental and physical
health are actively
discussed, managed
and understood to be
intrinsic to success.
Given that a
performance culture
needs to be a resilient
culture, interventions,
tools and techniques
will be put in place that
build organisational,
team and individual
wellbeing to meet the
needs of the business
and the needs of our
people.
Anyone in Unilever
should be no more
than one click, one
phone call or one
discussion from the
help they need if they
are experiencing any
issues with their health
and wellbeing.

WHY WELLBEING IS SO IMPORTANT TO
UNILEVER
 Wellbeing benefits not only employees but the business
as a whole
 All 7,500 employees in the UK and Ireland have 24/7
access to support when and where they need it, as well
as a comprehensive range of training, information and
tools to enhance their wellbeing
 Managers are also equipped with
the skills necessary to deal with
health issues and as a result have
a more engaged and resilient
workforce
COMMENTS FROM
EMPLOYEES
“The support network that
the company has put in
place has really helped me
from Line Manager to
Occupational Health”
“Very eye opening and
educational training
session which has
catalysed a desire to learn
and understand more”
“We’re off to a great
start. Changes like this
take time, it’s as much
culture change as
anything”
“It's a great opportunity to
have this health check, quick
and easy, onsite. Provides
early indication of long term
health issues - I would always
opt into this sort of
programme”.

CHOIR FEEDBACK
 It's fulfilling - it uses a different set of muscles to my
work – it’s so good to do something physical and
creative that isn’t sport and on a social level, there is a
real sense of community
 LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Thursdays... even when feeling
jaded from the week it gives me a real lift and I can't
stop smiling all afternoon. Did Gareth realise that he is
a therapist as well as being a fantastic musician and
choirmaster?
 We aim to improve our standard without taking things
too seriously - great mood of positivity that does spill
over into the workplace
