On 17–18 February, PostEurop Members met at the Royal Mail Mail Mount Pleasant Mail Centre in London for the Health & Work Safety Working Group meeting — two days dedicated to safety, wellbeing, and the future of our workforce across the postal sector.
The programme included visits to the Mount Pleasant Mail Centre and the Postal Museum, followed by a full day of discussions on key strategic topics such as:
• Building a next‑generation, agile workforce.
• Supporting an ageing workforce and promoting wellbeing.
• How internal social initiatives like the Rowland Hill Fund support employees.
• Lost Time Frequency Rate 2025: Each meeting provides an opportunity to share these figures and build an insightful benchmark.
• Policy reflections on senior workers, presented by bpost.
• Open round‑table discussions on future health & safety pathways.
This meeting was an important opportunity to exchange best practices, reflect on emerging challenges, and continue strengthening safe, healthy and sustainable working environments for the postal industry across Europe. And as we work together to build these environments, it’s worth remembering that wellbeing often starts with simple human moments — noticing when a colleague might be struggling and showing we care enough to ask how they’re really doing can make a difference.
As the transformation of the workforce accelerates, these discussions are more relevant than ever. Which topics do you believe should be at the forefront of the conversation on workforce evolution, health, and safety?
