The multiple’s subscription enables its employees globally to access the app free of charge, with the renewal now seeing employees’ family and friends able to benefit too.
Specsavers confirmed that the renewal of its Headspace subscription, which includes access for support office, manufacturing and distribution, and community practice colleagues, has been renewed for two years following positive feedback.
Speaking about the subscription, Specsavers’ wellbeing and inclusion lead, Steven Evans, said: “As part of Specsavers commitment to supporting our colleagues and their wellbeing, we want to ensure we continue to provide new and existing offerings to keep them feeling positive about their wellbeing.”
“Across Specsavers, from Canada to Hong Kong and everywhere in between, colleagues are benefitting from better focus and sleep and making use of the mindfulness and meditation courses,” he added.
Through the subscription, Specsavers used three million minutes last year, an average of 45 minutes per user per month.

from an optometrist with 40 years in independent and multiple practice-a word to describe specsavers constant diatribe of promotional propaganda and publicity... a mirage which is defined as an optical illusion!

I work for S/S. Deeply adhere to COO/AOP/GOC guidelines. Belittled by directors.
How are you expected to analyse OCT/Fundal photography/ review previous records/ compare and contrast records,take an accurate history /symptoms, do a thorough eye examination, transpose minus cyl to plus cyl because lab technicians are unable to work in both, look after pxs with numerous symptoms, make referrals in limited time. When head office look at time and motion, visual fields /referrals and some optometrists record everything as normal even though previous records/photos indicate previous pathology etc and don’t record referrals/fields required so records look perfect and no extra time taken to investigate.
Serious auditing by external departments required.
