Employee Wellbeing Interventions

Science-Driven Wellbeing Solutions For Thriving Workplaces

Enhance employee wellbeing with tailor-made strategies that prevents burnout, promotes strengths, and protects long-term organizational health.

The Problem

The Reality of Organizational Interventions

98% of employee wellbeing interventions fail to meet growth promises, resulting in a staggering annual cost of €450-500 billion (Flemming, 2024; HBR, 2023).

More than 80% of restructuring change plans fail to deliver the expected value in the planned time (Singh & Ramedeo, 2020)

70% of change initiatives fail to achieve their intended goals due to poor problem diagnosis, execution and planning (McKinsey, 2022).

Research shows poor decisions can result in a 39% loss of customers, 45% drop in employee retention and engagement, 59% rise in costs, and 44% decline in overall effectiveness (Ponnampalam, 2024).

Organisations report high levels of employee engagement but still see no improvement in Performance outcomes (Handoyo et al., 2016; Neuber et al., 2022)

Those who are impacted by organizational change or restructuring initiatives report higher stress, anxiety, burnout and job insecurity and increased mental health problems (Oreg et al.,  2021Van Zyl et al., 2024)

A meta-analysis showed that in Randomized Control Trials, very few workplace provide any ROI (Thonon et al., 2023)

99% of Wellbeing Interventions Fail

Flemming’s (2024) study of 46,336 workers across 233 UK organizations found NO IMPROVEMENT in the happiness, engagement, mental health or performance among employees who participated in wellbeing programs.

In fact, some were even WORSE off afterwards.

This adds to mounting evidence questioning the effectiveness of workplace wellbeing interventions.

The Reason

Why Don't These Interventions Work?

Placing Band-Aids on Bigger Problems

A meditation session cant fix toxic cultures, excessive workloads, or ineffective leadership.Without addressing the root causes, interventions fail to deliver meaningful change.

No Data and No Direction

Companies build interventions around gut feels. Without data-driven insights, interventions cant address the real factors causing employee burnout.
Narrow Perspectives

One Size Fits None Approaches

Generic programs that assume all employees face the same challenges ignore the unique needs of people, leading to no changes in important organizational outcomes.
Focus on Symptoms, Not Causes

Blame-Shifting the Causes

Stress isn’t just “your problem.” Many programs place the blame of stress on employees, and thus ignore the organization’s role in creating high-pressure environments.

Poorly Designed and Misaligned

Most use generic, untested approaches that ignores behavioral science, the cultural context, and employee-intervention fit. This leads to low engagement and even lower results.

Treating Wellbeing as an Event

Wellbeing isn’t a one-time workshop. Interventions wont work if there is no ongoing support and if wellbeing isnt deeply ingrained in work place culture

Preventing Problems with Proactive Action

Introduction

Prevention is the foundation of any organizational wellbeing strategy. Here we are focusing on reducing the risks associated with the onset of common workplace mental health issues (e.g. burnout, stress) and addressing these challenges proactively, before they become major problems. By implementing proactive initiatives at all levels, organizations can not only manage their risk, but also create healthier work environments and empower employees to thrive. Prevention not only safeguards mental health but also builds important employee behaviours that leads to high performance.

The strategies we implement in this phase is associated with the level of risk as to the onset of mental health problems and the associated risk to the organization. There are three approaches to prevention, each with their own interventions:

1.   Organization-Wide Prevention (Risk: General)

These are strategies aimed at managing the general, system wide risks and improving the entire ecosystem of the organization in order to prevent the onset of the factors leading stress and mental health issues.

Example Interventions we provide in this phase:

  • Creating Wellbeing Strategies, and Wellbeing Policies
  • Conducting Workplace Wellbeing Audits
  • Developing Crisis Response Protocols
  • Wellbeing communication plans
  • Mental Health Awareness Training
  • Establishing Psychological Safety Protocols
  • Work Force Capacity Planning
  • Talent Development Centers

2.   Targeted Support (Risk: Moderate)

These interventions are aimed at groups of employees or teams who are exposed to specific job demands or who are at a higher risk of experiencing prolonged stress or burnout. For example, within a hospital nurses are  more likely to be burnt out than the support staff. The aim is to provide targeted, preventative interventions to build resilience in these at risk groups, and to reduce the effect these high job demands have on their mental health.

Example Interventions we provide in this phase

  • Individualized support programmes for high-stress roles
  • Burnout monitoring for high-pressure teams
  • Stress management and Resilience Building workshops
  • Developing mentoring programmes for employees in demanding roles
  • Implementing Peer-Support Programmes
  • Team coaching for those under heavy work loads

3.   Indicated Prevention (Risk Level: High)

These interventions aim to prevent the escalation of problems for individuals or teams already showing early signs of stress, anxiety, burnout or other mental health challenges. These individuals or teams pose the highest risk to performance and organizational functioning.

Example Interventions we provide in this phase

  • Employee Assistance Programs that provide a safety net that catches problems before they escalate
  • Mental Health First Aid training for mangers as they are the first line of defense
  • Wellbeing Check-ins
  • Personalized stress-management coaching or counseling
  • Job Redesign to optimize roles for maximum happiness and performance

Focus on the Root Cause

We aim to identify and fix the root causes of problems.

By addressing workplace systems and cultures alongside individual needs, we create environments where wellbeing and performance flourish together.

Sustainable Growth Over Quick Fixes

Thus, our interventions are designed to deeply embed wellbeing into the DNA of your organization.

On the organizational level, we work towards facilitating systemic changes through the organization through developing and refining policies through to system wide change processes.
