Topics covered by Whitman Laboratories Limited


Health, Safety & the Environment

This site is a beacon for health, safety and environmental management. As the manufacturer of a global brand and household name, the company recognises the role that they have in spearheading environmental and ethical practices. The company constantly works to find the most environmentally friendly raw materials and non-process chemicals for use at their facilities. They are also continuously upgrading their manufacturing processes to reduce waste and emissions. The company supports several community recycling programmes. Visitors will see how health, safety and environmental practices can become embedded in both the company culture and also in day to day manufacturing practices.

People Development & Leadership

Capturing information on not only the skills of their team but also their ambitions ensures both business and personal needs benefit from leadership and development planning. A bi-annual global employee survey is supported by a more regular ‘pulse’ survey to measure employee satisfaction. A mixture of formal and informal communication throughout the organisation also helps support a common vision and their continuous improvement objectives. On the visit Whitman will share with visitors how they have created a company culture which recognises the importance of every individual’s personal goals and ambitions.
