What is it?
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised serious concerns about people’s mental well-being. The risk of infection, reduced income, job losses and lockdown have resulted in a higher level of ill-health, particularly depression and anxiety disorders. Our new GC Wellbeing proposition flexibly assists organisations with this “new normal”. Not only can we quickly implement quick wins – such as Mental Health First Aid courses – but we help build bespoke Wellbeing strategies too.
At the heart of our wellbeing approach is the belief that if people know where they like to devote their energies and make an impact, they’ll be in a better state of mental health.
PROCESS
We believe a successful, integrated well-being strategy needs to include: health, lifestyle, engagement, culture, leadership and people management.
Our new GC Wellbeing process has four stages of development:
- Conduct initial organisational wellbeing checks, to understand what existing activity, policies and good practices already exist.
- Help organisations implement ‘quick wins’ as appropriate. These may include training mental health first aiders, awareness sessions or providing specialist one-to-one coaching for senior leaders, incorporating a focus on their own and their team’s mental health.
- Provide consultative support to organisations wishing to embed their own wellbeing strategy, and helping them implement and build awareness.
- Establish ‘review and refinement’ processes, ensuring the next generation of wellbeing ambassadors ensure maximum organisational awareness and best practice.

Our GC Wellbeing approach also looks to ensure there is a tangible link to the overall company strategy, in turn allowing you to set Wellbeing KPIs to measure progress.
IMPACT
Our new GC Wellbeing propositions will result in a number of positive impacts.
Firstly, as part of our Wellbeing proposition we encourage organisations to ensure employees take The GC Index® profile. Everybody’s wellbeing within an organization is crucial – from the business leader to the management team to every single employee. If people know and understand where they feel most engaged and energised when it comes to making their own business impact, they will naturally be more productive and their own mental wellbeing will be in the best possible place.
Secondly, any wellbeing strategy will only be as impactful as the measures that are put in place, and every GC Wellbeing Strategy is formulated with KPIs agreed as part of the wellbeing strategy delivery. Typical examples of wellbeing KPIs are:
- Employee engagement;
- Employee satisfaction;
- Absenteeism;
- Employee turnover;
- Productivity levels;
- Wellbeing budget ROI.
