Supporting physical and mental wellbeing in the workplace is a priority, and we continued to build on the range of Group-wide initiatives we have in place.
Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
All colleagues have access to our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), which offers confidential support in various areas through a 24/7 helpline. The EAP has accredited counsellors, qualified doctors, and legal professionals who offer support and advice on legal, medical, health, and wellbeing issues.
Mental health
We also have Mental Health First Aiders across the Group. These volunteers undertake a two-day certification course as part of their training to equip them with tools for early intervention to aid recovery. In addition to supporting colleagues, they help raise awareness of mental illness and reduce the stigma around the issue.
Physical health
Staff at our head office in Berlin can access a gym to promote physical health, and we encourage activities such as yoga, volleyball, football, and running. We also support employees who choose to cycle with a bicycle leasing scheme in Germany and cycle-to-work in the UK.
