About us

My wellbeing

The MRC Wellbeing programme

In September 2013 we launched our Wellbeing Programme to the support the real desire across the organisation to make the health and wellbeing of our employees a priority.

We are proud to have a number of Wellbeing Champions who look at providing health and wellbeing initiatives at our Units and Institutes that are relevant to local needs.

Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)

As an MRC employee you will have the benefit of access to our EAP service which can be a valuable source of advice and support across a whole range of lifestyle and work matters.

Through the EAP you can gain fast access to qualified counsellors either by telephone or through a face-to-face consultation

Sick Pay

With all our Wellbeing initiatives we hope that you will remain fit and healthy but if you do get ill, you may receive up to 6 months’ full sick pay within a rolling 12 month period of absence.

Flu Vaccinations

In the autumn of each year you will be offered the opportunity to have a flu vaccination.

Occupational Health

We work with Occupational Health providers to ensure that during your employment with MRC we are supported with the right professional advice. Our Occupational Health providers also provide checks and assessments on areas which may be specific to your role. They also provide inoculations if you are travelling abroad on business.
