Health Policy

The health and well-being of its staff is important to BiP.

Years in advance of the overall ban on smoking in public places in Scotland, BiP had already declared its offices smoke-free. With its move to its Medius HQ, BiP extended this smoke-free restriction to all external parts of the company’s premises.

Staff are encouraged to take regular breaks and exercise throughout the day, and a recent initiative – Fresh Fruit Tuesday – aims to help those who want to eat more healthily. A weekly supply of fresh fruit is provided for all staff to access. On-site vending facilities offer a choice of sugar-free and low-fat options, while unlimited filtered water is available on tap.

Cycling to work is also encouraged at BiP, and the company has provided a secure storage area for cycles.

BiP also offers staff discounted membership to a healthcare plan, in order to reduce the cost of treatment. The company also offers discounted membership to a local gymnasium.
