Building a workplace where people thrive

A long term commitment to employee wellbeing

Our journey towards becoming an employee‑wellness‑first organisation began as early as 2015, starting with sports initiatives in Bahrain. Since then, our approach has evolved into a structured and holistic wellbeing framework spanning health awareness, prevention, mental wellness, and community building.

Over the years, we have rolled out a wide range of initiatives, including health awareness sessions, holistic health check‑ups, sports and fitness programs, yoga and mindfulness activities, women‑focused webinars, preventive safety toolbox talks, and Gatekeeper Workshops designed to foster mental health awareness and early intervention. Each program has been carefully designed to nurture an employee-first culture. Most recently, we launched a wellness tracker - Havelock One Care within our Employee Engagement app to foster a culture where we support, motivate, and inspire one another towards healthier lifestyles.

Celebrating wellness through community partnerships

On 24 April 2025, Havelock One had the pleasure of welcoming the Radio Mirchi team to our Bahrain facility, including the station head and popular radio jockeys. The visit was organised to felicitate Havelock One for its continued participation and commitment to employee wellness initiatives at the Mirchi Neon Run. 

Recognition that reflects real impact

Our efforts have consistently been recognised by external organisations, reinforcing the meaningful impact of our approach. Over the past two years, Havelock One has been recognised by Radio Mirchi (2024) and BICAS (2023 and 2024) for its work in employee wellness and health awareness.

The Trijog First Mover in Mental Health Award was our third wellness recognition in 2024. It recognises organisations making mental health support more visible, accessible, and part of everyday work.

Havelock One was recognised alongside Maersk, ZEE, and Burger King in the same category.

Engagement and Workplace Culture

Our approach to hiring was recognised with the Engagement Excellence Award at the Naukrigulf Awards 2025. The awards recognise organisations for their work in recruitment, including diversity, nationalisation, job creation, and candidate engagement.

The recognition reflects the care our team puts into reviewing applications and giving candidates a clear, efficient recruitment experience. It also reinforces something we've always believed: engagement starts well before an employee's first day.

Creating a workplace people choose to grow with

Havelock One was also named Highly Commended in the Best Workplace of the Year 2025 category at the Design Middle East Awards.

The recognition reflects the way our teams work every day: supporting one another, sharing knowledge, and creating an environment where people can build long-term careers.

A few things continue to make that possible:

• A people-first culture built on trust and support
• Leadership backed by experienced, certified professionals
• Strong safety systems across complex live project environments
• HR practices that support fairness, growth, and wellbeing

Together, these shape a workplace where people feel supported, valued, and motivated to do their best work.
