KPMG: Enhancing Self Care and Work Life Balance
Self care and work-life balance have a symbiotic relationship. Employees need both to achieve peak performance at work, at play, and at home. When they are able to strike a balance between work and their life outside of it, they come closer to being emotionally, physically and mentally fit.
In 2021, Human Edge undertook a five month program at KPMG to improve the well-being of its partners, and help them achieve a work-life balance. Participants were taught how to prioritize their health and maintain a work life balance.

Methodology
The five-month program was customized for 123 KPMG partners, who during that time span learnt how to prioritize self care, maintain work-life balance, and enhance their energy levels under the guidance of Edge Expert Dr. Marcus Ranney.

The Human Edge Solution
The program was spread across nine stages that began with a pre-program assessment and ended with post-intervention diagnostics and impact report. Knowledge building, community building, leveraging content assets to create pathways for behavior change, and celebrating wins and problem-solving for challenges were a few components of the program.
- The first step was to assess the current health and wellbeing of the leaders based on the three pillars of the program. On the basis of this foundational diagnostic test, individual scorecards for the leaders as well as a summary report on the well-being of the cohort was generated.
- Based on the assessment done, people were divided into three groups each aimed at improving the most challenging aspect for them. Human Edge created different WhatsApp groups, each featuring a 21 day-challenge aimed at improving one of three themes.
- Based on the results, virtual sessions were conducted with the leaders to help them understand the arenas on which they needed to focus on the most. Individualized bio-hacks were shared with the leaders along with guidance on how to utilize them in their day to day life.
- Human Edge built a Whatsapp community of the leaders to share insights from their journey in real time. This was followed by disseminating supplemental information and facilitating a “Reflection Circle” where wins were celebrated and the leaders were counseled to overcome challenges.
- The last phase of the study featured a post-program diagnostic assessment and generating an impact report that measured progress of the cohort.
Insight and Results
The participants reported an average impact of 16% post the program. They also reported: 15% positive impact on energy levels and 19% positive impact on work-life harmony.

Testimonial
Human Edge’s depth of knowledge, structured approach to applying it to daily bite-sized pieces, and a very strong positive and inspiring outlook is what really worked for us.
Mental wellbeing of our people is core to the strategy of our company. And it is just as important as physical wellbeing.
A big shout out to Dr Marcus Ranney and a team of Human Edge, who supported us control risks through a series of "Your Health Matters" sessions- helping colleagues from the COVID stuck period to recovery. Thank you is not enough, DocM, for the wisdom, time, and science-backed information you share with us each time. Glad to have been associated with you and will continue to evolve on the well-being journey!
Excellent! Great content and I loved that the OBU decided to support our personal health journey! Thank you, Human Edge team.
These opportunities to take a break from our work and focus on our health are invaluable. It’s hard to take the time for yourself, by yourself, but by supporting this investment in us, it’s a win/win.
It was a great experience for us at Udaan to partner with Human Edge to build awareness & capability in our people on two very important topics- self-care & Teamcare. We found the workshop's content very engaging and informative & more importantly, it inspired many of us to take small but effective steps in the right direction.
During the program, our employees realized their unhelpful micro habits and worked towards replacing them with positive habits. We saw visible improvements as our Employee Wellness Scores shifted from 58% pre-intervention to 75% post-intervention.
We are thrilled to be working with Human Edge. Our tailored program delivers a lot of smart, fact-based, and practical hacks that are helping our staff. The content is rich in insights and quickly applicable ideas, which individuals can tailor to their goals and needs.
Human Edge created an amazing learning experience for us! With the help of experts and facilitators like you, we at KPMG are bringing forth a very important message that wellbeing and superior performance are two sides of the same coin!
