Dear All,
GW will be taking delivery of two large printers on Friday 14th March for DSP (Bay 55). As a result of this, “Helga’s” Car Park will be completed cordoned off to allow for a diversion for incoming traffic (Blue arrows). Please arrange to park elsewhere around the site. For all traffic wishing to exit the estate past Bay 513, a diversion will be in place to send you along the top road (Stewart Road yellow arrows).
The work is due to start 08:00 AM and last for a couple of hours.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
Hello
Healthbox HR Update!
Thank you all for your patience whilst we roll out this platform to you all. Over the coming weeks, I will be working on guides, FAQ documents and training videos to show you all the features the platform has to offer.
Big Update that you all need to be aware of – we have made the decision to push back the Go Live date till the 3rd March. This is because we would like a week of testing the new terminals with TMS first to ensure the information matches. Secondly we thought it was best to start the platform from a new month – fresh start! 🙂 so please continue to clock in via TMS on Monday, and also clocking in through Healthbox HR, so we have comparable information.
Holidays – 95% of the holidays have imported perfectly. However, this week we were made aware that half day holidays haven’t transferred over properly, and have gone into Healthbox as a full day. Please check your holiday to ensure it is correct, and let us know if there are any issues.
Thank you all, if you do have any questions, please contact your Line Manager so any questions can be collated.
Kind Regards
Beth

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Hello Everyone, it’s Beth Grosvenor – HR Business Partner, and I have the absolute pleasure to announce that from early January 2025, the business will be introducing a new HR system called Healthbox HR. Myself, along with Brian Jones – Head of IT will be fronting this project.
What is Healthbox HR?
This platform will replace our current Time Management System (TMS) and offers a plethora of benefits to not only the business, but for your employee experience whilst being employed at Grainger and Worrall. I will list just some of the features the platform offers below:
- The option to clock in and out whilst on site via your mobile device. We will still have terminals across the site if you still wish to use them, but the easier option of clocking in and out via your phone will save so much time!
- Easy access to documents – this platform allows us to send you letters that need signing by yourselves (saving paper!) and you can also view the Employee Handbook, HR Policies and several other documents we will place on there.
- Message Board – this module will keep you up to date with Evolution News, Employee Forum minutes, celebrate promotions, any business news and any other updates the Company wish to share with you.
- Update your own personal details – need to change your bank details? Moved house and need to update your address? You now don’t need to rely on others doing this for you, you can simply amend the details yourself on the platform.
- Book holidays with ease. You can request for time off with the click of your fingers and the notification will go straight to your Line Manager for approval.
- Learning & Development Platform – want to see what training there is at Grainger & Worrall and what courses you have already completed? You will be able to see all this information on your log in!
- Recruitment Module – this module gives you the opportunity to see first hand what vacancies we have across the business, and you can apply for positions directly through the platform.
I am truly excited to see this project come to life and look forward to you all being able to see the platform yourselves.
Over the coming weeks there will be training for all line management on how to use the platform and then you will receive your own training prior to Healthbox HR going live.
The poster I have included with this update will be shared across all the noticeboards for you to see.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the HR department at hr@gwcast.com
Quarter 2 and Quarter 3 Champion Awards.
On Thursday 14th November, the Employee Forum representatives got together and one of the discussion points was to choose the overall winners for the Champion Awards for Quarter 2 and 3. The reps independently voted for their favourite reasons (no names were included) and the votes were counted up straight after the meeting.
A massive congratulations to the following partners:
Quarter 2
Quarter 3
There were no Growing nominations for Quarter 3 so well done to all winners, you will receive your certificates and vouchers over the next week!
The Quarter 4 Champions will be selected in the new year, so please continue to recognise your colleagues by nominating them when you see great work 😊
Internal Promotions
In the 4th October Evolution News, Sam Fenn – Chief HR Officer announced that most of our vacancies will be advertised internally for 2 weeks prior to going external. Giving all partners the opportunity to apply for roles across different areas or to progress throughout their careers.
I am pleased to share with you that since then, the following partners have applied and have been successful for open vacancies.
