What are companies doing with regards to 'Wellbeing'

Learn about the Factors Effect Model

What effect will focus on the 'Wellbeing' factor have?

Wellbeing - How employees feel about stress, pressure at work and life balance

The Wellbeing factor is closely linked with Fair Deal. If the scores for Fair Deal are low, the first place we’d recommend you look is Wellbeing.

If Wellbeing is also low, it may be that employees are being worked too hard and feel they are not being fairly remunerated for it.

FX Digital

60a43081c04f23c7f7bd65d5
An employee-run mental health and physical wellbeing group meets fortnightly to discuss and implement changes across the business, such as its 'Wellbeing Week' initiative held in January. It also provides Vitality Health Insurance for employees to encourage better physical and mental health, as well as providing mental health coaching once a month.
Each week employees are given half a day to focus on their personal growth, whether it be participating in training to further skills for a work-related project, or for their own interests outside of the business. Some of the team used this time to work on an AI recycling app, unrelated to their usual projects.
As well as sponsoring a local children's football club and providing teams with kits, employees also planned a workshop for a local primary school during their STEM week, aiming to inspire more women into the tech sector. In 2021 staff chose to support MIND Mental Healthy Charity by donating money to the cause.

Following the success of an additional ‘wellbeing day’ gifted to all employees last year in lieu of activities that would normally be held in the office, the company is repeating the initiative.

Millennium Support

60a422ec6d8de2854ccb2e96
Two of the most popular support groups on the wellness portal of the MyMillennium app are Millie Let's Get Healthy and Millie Mind Matters. The company also has an employee assistance programme and provides other wellbeing initiatives, such as a cycle-to-work scheme and yoga sessions.
Managers discuss results of surveys with their teams. The combination of these listening groups and the survey results enables them to create an action plan that is specific to their teams. It has led to managers thinking differently about how and when they hold team meetings, how they communicate and about team-building events.
Talent programmes are populated through bi-annual reviews. Everyone has a regular one-to-one "developing talent" discussion. Those who are identified as having potential for more senior roles are put forward for fast-track talent programmes that consist of six workshops, coaching and a business project. The learning content is available to all staff.

Sandicliffe

60a4163eb0403894e44f8ab5
The company's menopause policy was written by staff and there is a WhatsApp group so they can support each other. In addition, there will be a wellbeing champion at each site. The company also partners with Ben, a charity that supports motor industry employees, and staff with any concerns are referred to it.
Sandicliffe ensures that it pays for a role rather than the person. For example, a technician is paid £24,26 and £28,000, dependant on qualifications. All salaries are checked to make sure they are in line with market rates and staff are paid accordingly. Moves are being made to attract more women to the business.
