On Friday, we held our Christmas celebration, Jingle and Mingle. It was moved online at the last minute, but it was still full of Christmas cheer, lots of laughter and fabulous bakes and jumpers! During the afternoon, we raised over £1000 for Birmingham Children's Hospital. We held a scavenger hunt, Christmas quiz, Christmas jumper competition and a Christmas baking competition which would have earned many Paul Hollywood handshakes.
Yesterday, 9 of our female leaders spent time with the Year 10s at Saltley Academy, supporting the interview panels as part of their early careers/work experience preparation. We were very pleased to provide an insight into the world of work (especially for young girls) at this crucial stage of academic life.
We are really pleased to announce that we have signed up to the West Midlands Combined Authority Net Zero Business Pledge. Correla remains committed to being Net-Zero by 2025, and by making this pledge demonstrates how Correla will support efforts to achieve the broader net-zero target. We strive to go above and beyond our moral, legal and ethical duty by carving the way for future generations to come and protecting our environment. Correla will champion this pledge by showcasing its commitment and delivering its year on year promises. Once we achieve our goal, we will continue to champion and share our successes, supporting others to meet their goals to help to keep 1.5°C alive.
Over the last 18 months, we have all seen demand for GP services grow exponentially. At Correla we are always looking at our people products and how we can ensure we provide a great experience to our people, to allow them to concentrate on our customers. To that end, today we entered into a partnership with Westfield Health and launched a new product, DoctorLine. This will give our people and their families, 24/7 access to a GP, from anywhere in the world. We all know how busy life can be, which is why appointments are available at flexible times to suit our people and their individual family needs After all, we don't set hours for our people, so why would we set hours for their GP appointments?
To all our customers, colleagues and friends, hope you have a blessed, healthy and prosperous Diwali.
