Buzzworks operator hospitality venues across Ayrshire including Scotts at Largs Yacht Haven and Scotts at Troon Yacht Haven. The CIS Excellence Awards recognises innovation and companies who strive for excellence when it comes to addressing mental health issues within its employees, and staff wellbeing.
Buzzworks were recognised for their outstanding pledge to support the mental health of their staff throughout lockdown, resulting in the award for Wellbeing in Hospitality Award in the 2021 CIS Excellence Awards.
Their programme of staff support include home schooling support, free online fitness classes and regular, direct contact with the company's senior team. The company also trained twelve mental health first aiders through a course at Ayrshire College.
Kenny Blair, Buzzworks Managing Director: “Providing a positive working environment for our team continues to be an ongoing commitment for us all – so it’s great to be recognised as an industry leader for wellbeing initiatives.
“At Buzzworks we value every voice and while our venues were closed during various lockdowns, we went to great lengths to keep our teams engaged. By hosting internal online events and encouraging charitable activities we enabled our people to feel connected to each other, the business and their local communities.
