The brief

The CHRO for Europe wants wellbeing that people use and leaders can measure, built as a programme for the whole year. The European wellbeing lead needs one partner for four sites in four countries, sessions in the local language where it helps, and one report at the end of the year.

The format and the experts

The year runs in four quarterly themes, each with live sessions at every site, led in person by experts from our network in that city:

  • Quarter one, energy: breath and movement, and a session on food, mood and focus.
  • Quarter two, rest: sleep science and a deep-rest sound session.
  • Quarter three, focus: attention training and a creative recovery atelier.
  • Quarter four, resilience: recovery under pressure and a closing celebration at each site.

A leadership track runs alongside, with one session a quarter for each site’s managers on leading energy, workload and recovery in their teams.

The setting

Each site hosts its sessions in its own spaces, from a training room in Basel to a canal-side meeting room in Amsterdam. Our curators keep the themes, the look and the measurement identical across all four countries.

The outcome

The CHRO sees, site by site, how energy, focus and stress moved across the year, read on the Impact Index at the start and the end. 4,000 people in four countries share one programme, led by local experts they come to know.

Questions buyers ask

Who runs employee wellbeing programmes across several countries?
Culture Vitale runs employee wellbeing programmes across several countries from one brief: monthly or quarterly live sessions at every site, led by local experts, with one point of contact and one report. Programmes run across Europe, the UK, North America, Australia, the UAE and Asia, in fifty-plus locations.
How do you measure a corporate wellbeing programme?
Culture Vitale measures wellbeing programmes with the Impact Index, which reads energy, focus and stress before and after sessions and across the year. Readings are taken at every site, so HR leaders see one picture across countries and can compare sites, themes and formats.
