Creating a safer, healthier workplace for our people

At Gosselin, health and safety goes beyond preventing accidents. We create safe working environments, support the physical and mental wellbeing of our colleagues, and give our people the opportunity to learn, develop and thrive.  

More than safety: a broader approach to employee wellbeing

At Gosselin, health and safety has evolved beyond accident prevention. Safe working conditions and legal compliance remain essential, but we also look at the wider employee experience, from ergonomics and psychosocial wellbeing to learning and personal development.  

Safety 

Preventing accidents and creating safe working conditions are fundamental to how we operate. We identify and manage risks, pay attention to ergonomics and continuously work to improve our working environments. 

Wellbeing 

A healthy workplace is about more than physical safety. We support psychosocial wellbeing, work-life balance and a positive working environment where people feel supported and connected. 

Development 

We believe people should have opportunities to learn and grow throughout their time at Gosselin. Training, personal development and new responsibilities all play a role in helping our colleagues thrive. 

How we support our people

Creating workplaces where people feel safe and confident

Safety starts with creating working environments where people can do their jobs safely and confidently. 

We focus on preventing workplace accidents, identifying and managing risks, and continuously improving working conditions. Ergonomics is also an important part of our approach, helping us create workplaces that support people's health and comfort. 

Meeting legal and regulatory requirements is fundamental to how we operate. But compliance is the starting point, not the end goal. We continuously look for ways to strengthen our safety culture and make health and safety part of everyday decision-making. 

Supporting employees from their first day 

Looking after our people starts when they join Gosselin. We see onboarding as more than introducing someone to a new job. It's about helping new colleagues settle in, find their place and feel supported from the beginning. 

Getting settled 

During their first year, HR regularly checks in with new employees to see how they are settling into their role, whether their expectations are being met and where they may need additional support or development. 

A familiar face from day one 

Every new colleague is paired with an experienced "godmother" or "godfather" from another department. They provide an informal point of contact for questions, advice and practical guidance, while helping new employees discover Gosselin beyond their immediate team.

Health and safety across Gosselin

Health and safety isn't confined to one department. It is embedded across the organisation through collaboration between the people who shape our policies and the people who put them into practice.

Continuously improving our approach

A healthy and safe workplace is never a finished project. As Gosselin grows and the way we work evolves, we continue to listen, learn and improve how we support our people. 

Because ultimately, health and safety is about creating the conditions for people to work safely, feel valued and thrive at Gosselin.
