Why employee wellbeing is vital

The talented, dedicated people who work for us are the bedrock of our success today and in the future. For their benefit, and that of our clients and our own business, we do everything we can to help our people to stay healthy and to feel good about themselves and the company they work for.

Capgemini’s approach to wellbeing

Capgemini’s group-wide initiatives to promote employee wellbeing include work-life balance programmes and help with stress management.

The UK company has its own health, safety and wellbeing resources, which offer employees a wide range of advice, guidance, discounts and benefits, some of which are outlined below

We are strongly committed to the health and safety of employees. We aim to achieve an accident rate of less than 1% (beyond statutory requirements) and have met this objective every year since 2000.  Additionally our health and safety procedures are regularly audited by external assessors and clients and in 2010 we passed the rigorously assessed Achilles Audit.

Capgemini’s wellbeing resources

Health and happiness are individual, and so different things will work for different people. Here we outline just a few of the resources which Capgemini employees can mix and match to suit their specific needs.

Wellbeing

• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). Confidential help and advice is available on a number of issues ranging from personal finances to family issues
• Online health and wellbeing service. Personalised guidance is available via email and internet
• Computer-Based Training. Some of our CBT modules and e-books provide support in areas like work-life balance and caring for children and other family member
• Discounts on fitness products and services. Employees can join gyms and health clubs, and purchase fitness equipment, at preferential rates

Health and safety:

• Health benefits. Employees choose from a number of health-related benefits, from medical and travel insurance to health screening, as part of a flexible benefits package
• Workstation assessments. Posture at the desk and when using a computer can play a big part in how you feel every day. We encourage and help all employees to conduct regular assessments and our facilities team can advise on how to make improvements
• Guidance and support. Employees have access to telephone and online advice on health-related matters
• Online resources. We offer CBT modules and e-books to promote occupational and general health

Life outside Capgemini:

• Community involvement. We encourage our employees to get involved with their local communities, for example through volunteering and pro bono work
• Flexible working arrangements. All employees can request these, and every request will be considered, subject to business need
