Logistics UK aims to help industry to thrive

The THRIVE hub will bring together a curated library of trusted resources covering nutrition, fitness, sleep, workplace wellbeing and positive lifestyle habits from a range of contributors and external sources. It will also provide practical tools, articles and guidance to connect people with expert support.

Contributors already involved include the Structured Health Intervention For Truckers (SHIFT), MOTORWAY BUDDY and the team here at Logistics UK THRIVE will also feature dedicated signposting to resources from the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), one of the UK’s leading mental health charities.

As well as directing individuals to CALM’s vital support services, Logistics UK will also highlight fundraising opportunities throughout the year to help sustain CALM’s work in preventing suicide and supporting those in crisis.

“As the largest business group in the sector, representing over 22,000 member organisations, Logistics UK recognises the growing importance of mental health and wellbeing across the workforce, from HGV drivers and warehouse staff to supply chain managers and logistics leaders,” explained Kevin Green, the organisation’s Acting Chief Executive.

“In an industry where long hours, shift work and high levels of responsibility can put a real strain on wellbeing, we are confident that THRIVE will provide genuine help and guidance to enable us to support our members and their staff with invaluable health and wellbeing resources.”

THRIVE will continue to evolve, with new content and contributors added regularly to ensure the hub continues to reflect the needs of the sector.

Through campaigns, events and partnerships, Logistics UK aims to embed a culture of wellbeing across logistics and ensure the industry has the tools to support its most valuable asset: its people.
