Wellbeing

Businesses are facing an epidemic of burnt-out workers, and the support they’re offering isn’t helping. Our WellworkingTM solution uses behavioural science to drive wellbeing that’s inclusive, sustainable and practical.

Winning with wellbeing

Investment into wellbeing programmes is growing and for good reason. Higher employee wellbeing results in a positive business impact.

Employee engagement

MindGym's Senior Director of Behavioural Science, Ceri Williams, reveals why traditional approaches to improving wellbeing are failing to help the people who need it most.

How does WellworkingTM drive wellbeing success?

A landmark study found that there was virtually no difference in monthly healthcare spend between employees who were enrolled in wellbeing programmes compared with those who were not.

So why aren't these programmes working? Because they often target wellbeing outside of the office instead of putting that investment where it’s most needed: at work.

The five drivers of wellbeing

We reviewed and synthesised the research on healthy, sustainable motivation at work and arrived at five key drivers of great wellbeing:

01 Certainty: 'I feel clear'

02 Competence: 'I feel capable'

03 Autonomy: 'I feel in control'

04 Belonging: 'I feel valued'

05 Purpose: 'I feel that my work matters'

When these drivers are threatened, people experience increases in ‘illbeing’, and we see more people begin to struggle or even fall into crisis.

Our goal is to both reduce illbeing and increase wellbeing for employees.
