Our Story

87% of companies have employee wellbeing initiatives, but don’t have a strategy. And of those initiatives, only 5.6% of benefits are used.

Introducing Well_Lab

We’re in a moment of high employer spend on employee health, little uptake, very low use of evidence, and virtually no positive impact on health (all at the tail-end of a global pandemic).

This is how Well_Lab was born. From a profound motivation to tackle this big challenge.

Backed by Wellcome and in partnership with experts on achieving impact that sticks, we are a dedicated team of made up of psychologists, strategists, designers and coaches passionate about changing the future of work.

We are shining a light on how organisations can use the pandemic as a positive flip-side to rethink how they organise themselves and their workers so that everyone can access, use and respond to evidence on wellbeing and create the conditions to thrive.

We’re looking for five forward-thinking leaders to join us as the founding members to beat workplace burnout.

We are empowering organisations to listen, learn and test workplace health strategies that are underpinned by a deeper level of evidence surfaced from within their own workforces. Our experimental approach carves out the space needed for organisations to trial evidence-based wellbeing strategies: by putting them into practice, they can learn what actually works for them.

"We need to shift the conversation from wellbeing to business resilience. Once you recognise that people are your biggest asset that translates to your bottom line. It just makes business sense and completely changes the tone of the conversation."
