Health and wellbeing

Supporting our people to strike a healthy balance. Because better balance leads to better wellbeing and psychological health.

We know that work plays a significant role in people’s lives, but it’s certainly not everything. We believe in supporting our people to strike a balance between their work and personal priorities; because better balance results in happier, healthier, more engaged people.

Supporting health, safety and wellbeing

Nothing is more important to us than the health and safety of our people. We work with them to have honest conversations about the importance of wellbeing, with a focus on recognising and preventing burnout, understanding the difference between helpful and hindering thoughts, and making small changes to build healthy and sustainable habits.

We recognise that due to the nature of our business, and the spread of geographies and time zones in which our people work, achieving a healthy work-life balance can be challenging. So we work hard to ensure that our commitment to flexibility is part of the lived experience within the organisation and our people feel supported.

Some of the health, safety and wellbeing offerings we provide include:

  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Part-time and hybrid working opportunities
  • Parental and carer leave opportunities
  • Health, Safety and Wellbeing calendar
  • Right to disconnect

Putting our policies into action

“I didn’t get a chance to do the same thing with my other two, and didn’t even consider taking time off until our CEO mentioned it to me personally. He said that it’s one thing to have a policy but it only really means something if someone in the management team actually does it. I think I was the first person to take it up, and it was completely worth it. Taking time out also created some time for other people in the business to step up and fill my shoes for a while, and served as a useful reset for how we work as a team. I think that’s also been really useful.”

“When my daughter was born, I took six weeks of parental leave. I now know that those early weeks after you take your first baby home are unlike anything else! It was a very special time but it was also full on and I am so pleased that I had the opportunity to be present with my family. I am planning to take more leave in 2024 when my wife returns to work. I think I am going to have my hands full but I can’t wait!”

“Taking a few months off to take on the role of primary carer can be a bit of an eye opener. I thought I was pretty involved at home, but when you’re looking after a child full time it helps you appreciate how time consuming that really can be, and I don’t think you realise that until you’ve done it for a few weeks! The whole experience gave me such valuable time with my daughter and has resulted in a longer term appreciation of how my partner and I need to balance work and home now we’re both working full time.”
