Our wellbeing strategy focuses on sustainable wellbeing, providing preventative measures to support wellbeing, and removing causes of unnecessary stress.
We provide comprehensive access to essential services, expert guidance, and robust support networks, enabling our people to thrive professionally and personally.
Preventative Measures
We offer a range of preventative benefits to support our colleagues to identify and address physical and mental health issues early. All of our colleagues globally can access:
- comprehensive health screenings to help identify potential health issues early and provide valuable insights to develop personalised plans to maintain their fitness and wellbeing.
- qualified therapists, psychologists, and coaches for online therapy and wellbeing support.
Sustainable Wellbeing
We are committed to supporting sustainable wellbeing for our people, recognising it as an essential component of long-term success and a thriving workplace. In this spirit, we offer a variety of webinars, resources, and policies to help colleagues navigate the multitude of professional and personal challenges that may arise at any stage of their career or life during their time with the firm.
Here are a few examples of our policies that support our people through a variety of life circumstances—both fortunate and challenging—during their time with us:
- our Career break/sabbatical policy recognises the importance of work-life balance, personal development, and interests outside of the firm.
- our Carers policy supports all colleagues who have caring responsibilities for disabled, elderly, or sick individuals.
- our Domestic abuse policy supports any employee impacted by domestic abuse, stalking, or coercive control.
- our Fertility policy supports all colleagues who are undergoing fertility treatment or whose partners are receiving treatment.
