In a landmark development for workplace inclusivity, Lucion proudly announces its commitment to the Government's Disability Confident scheme.

A Holistic Approach to Workplace Wellbeing

Our journey towards creating an inclusive workplace takes a multi-faceted approach, addressing both physical and mental wellbeing. The timing of our Disability Confident commitment follows our recent signing of the Building Mental Health Charter during Mental Health Awareness Week 2025, creating a comprehensive framework for workplace support.

Commenting on our latest commitment, Chief Executive Officer Phil Coles said;

“The wellbeing of everyone within the Lucion team is critical to our success and is a fundamental part of what defines our culture. These commitments aren’t just about aspirational goals – they’re about setting them, ensuring the whole business meets and achieves them and they become a ways of life in Lucion.”

Building an Inclusive Future

Our approach focuses on three key areas:

Educate

Comprehensive disability awareness training
Mental Health First Aid training through MHFA England
Regular workshops on invisible disabilities

Engage

Active consultation with employees
Dedicated support communities including Circles and Brew Crew
Supporting The Lighthouse Club through fundraising and awareness activities

Empower

Clear career progression pathways
24/7 support services including GP access
Free financial wellbeing support
Free counselling when needed
Access to numerous wellbeing classes through our Perks At Work platform

Additionally, we provide opportunities to engage as a whole business to win wellbeing days and work with different teams across the business through various activities including our latest initiative, Summer Steps Challenge, a challenge designed to get our teams moving this summer.

Creating Supportive Communities

Our commitment to inclusion is exemplified through our community initiatives.

The Brew Crew, led by Dave Cage, provides vital mental health support for male colleagues, while our Circles programme offers professional development and support for women.

These initiatives complement our growing network of Mental Health First Aiders, creating a comprehensive support system.

Spearheading these initiatives as Lucion’s recently appointed Chief People Officer, Carolyn Cole commented;

“Our integrated approach to workplace wellbeing, combining mental health support with disability inclusion, creates an environment where everyone can flourish.

This latest initiative complements our recent Building Mental Health Charter signing and our double RoSPA Gold Award win, demonstrating our comprehensive approach to employee wellbeing and workplace safety.”

As a Disability Confident Committed employer, we’re implementing practical solutions that complement our existing wellbeing framework. This includes accessible recruitment processes, and clear support pathways for employees with both visible and non-visible disabilities.

“With over 7.7 million working-age people in the UK having a disability or health condition, our commitment to the Disability Confident scheme represents a crucial step in ensuring we’re accessing all available talent while creating a truly inclusive workplace.”

– Lucion’s ESG Manager Zee Sheldon

Looking Forward

As a Disability Confident Committed employer, combined with our Mental Health Charter commitments and award-winning safety practices, positions Lucion at the forefront of workplace inclusivity. We’re creating an environment where every employee feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Our comprehensive approach to workplace wellbeing – from mental health support to disability inclusion and physical safety – demonstrates our commitment to protecting both people and planet, making Lucion not just a great place to work, but a leader in industry best practices.

If you’re passionate about working in an environment that prioritises inclusivity, we’d love to hear from you.
