Are you frustrated with your work culture?

Stuck in endless meetings, wondering how to get anything done? Are you losing talent, fire-fighting, and worried about geopolitical issues impacting employee wellbeing and productivity?

Are your managers squeezed in the middle, with more responsibilities than ever before, but lacking a baseline of empathy? Do your senior leadership teams dismiss Gen Z as "snowflakes" and long for the "good old days"?

Wellbeing is essential to high performance and yet so many companies focus on the wrong things!

The 2022 Deloitte mental health report found that absence and loss of productivity cost the global economy an estimated £56 billion every year and yet wellbeing is still seen as a fluffy add on or nice-to-have!

It’s time we built Mentally Healthy Cultures where personal and business potential align and evolve our workplaces for the future!

If you want to support your team, you need to figure out wellbeing as a team.

Wellbeing is more than bubble baths and time off!

If you want your company to thrive and attract talent that stays, you must go beyond the PR version of wellbeing and get strategic about your people and their potential.

We must:

  • Challenge inefficient practices and Toxic Behaviour

    It doesn’t matter what your policy says, if behaviour doesn’t match up, it’s time to make a change!

  • Develop The Human Leader

    In a world of tech advances and remote work, the skills of the future are human! The Human Leader goes beyond 1-2-1 check in’s and embeds wellbeing into team practices, leading by example and boosting potential.

  • Team Potential

    Treat your people like adults! Give them space to invest in themselves, build trust and watch your culture thrive.

If you’re overwhelmed by apps, perks and benefits while wondering if a mentally healthy culture is even possible - you’ve come to the right place!

We help hundreds of global clients get to the root issue and build a wellbeing strategy that is uplifting, effective and aligned with your business objectives!

A strategy is only the first step - next you must bring it to LIFE! We’ll meet you where you’re at and help you build a plan for success.
