Employee benefits
Looking after you

Looking for our US benefits?
Mental health
It’s no secret that the pandemic propelled the need for mental health support into the spotlight, but for us, it’s always been just as important to look after your mental health as it is your physical health!
We also have mental first-aiders based in our UK office, offering global support across the business.
What does this mean?
- Our first-aiders champion mental health initiatives in the office and break the stigma globally across the organisation.
- We position mental health as a boardroom issue, on par with physical health.
- We focus on cultivating a psychologically safe environment for all employees.
- Demonstrate how well-being has a positive impact on the business.
