“The Health & Wellbeing of our associates at Jacobs Douwe Egberts has always been a focus for us but in the last 12 months it has become a fundamental part of our business priorities. As part of a survey carried out recently, our associates told us they wanted support and guidance on how to work in healthier ways. In response to this, a cross-functional team worked on a number of initiatives and deliverables, the implementation of Wellspace was one of these. We are delighted to be partnering with Wellspace and Dr Eccles as we support our associates in their Health & Wellbeing not just at work, but in their everyday lives.”

“Having signed up to the Mental Health at Work Commitment earlier in the year Buckingham Group were keen to further support their existing Wellbeing Programme by giving its employees the opportunity to monitor their own wellbeing journey via an app. After reviewing several apps, we agreed that Wellspace best suited us, due to the ability to include our own content, enable individuals to tailor the content they see, encourage some friendly competition with group challenges and of course be able to look at the wellbeing of the business as a whole. We have just launched the app amongst our team of Wellbeing Champions and launched business-wide in the New Year.”

“Training to become a commercial pilot is an intensive process with regular deadlines and exams, which is why wellbeing support and training is so important. Through the app and portal our students have access to, Wellspace identified a change in sleep patterns as deadlines and exams approached, and provided online tools, tips and information to help with this. Wellspace also adjusted the training programme and delivered some in- house sessions on sleep and exam pressure, and the two approaches showed a rapid improvement in both the 'sleep quality' and ' stress levels' data during the exam period and afterwards. Individual counselling sessions were also provided by Wellspace, which was handled sensitively and anonymously.”

“During the pandemic Dura Composites was pleased to be able to support its staff’s mental and physical needs by implementing Wellspace – a proactive workplace wellbeing programme in the form of a secure app and integrated online portal to encourage our employees to look after their mental and physical health. Through the app, our staff gained access to a range of support materials such as articles and advice, and our internal Culture and People Development team were able to create regular exercise and hydration challenges which are incentivised to encourage wider participation. New scorecard goals relating to physical and mental health have been set for the company for the first time, and are reviewed and reported on at the weekly management meeting. We have been really pleased with the response from staff, and the initiative has now sparked a number of other pop-up staff activity groups such as open water swimming and golf.”

“Wellspace has opened our eyes to the scope of the positive changes we can make. It has also shown us how difficult it is to implement changes without expert support.
Wellspace were professional and supportive from day one, they took their time to fully understand our organisation's needs and aims and tailored the service to fit.
The training services have had a wholly positive impact on the teams mental and physical wellbeing which has been reflected in an upturn in productivity and downturn in churn.”
