Publicis Sapient: Building A Culture Of Mental Well-Being

On average, people spend 90,000 hours at work in their lifetimes. Studies equate this number to one-third of their lives. So to say that professionals must learn to keep their work and private lives separate just implies how much we undermine the effect the workplace environment has on a person’s well-being, particularly mental health.

In 2021, Human Edge embarked on a journey to build a mental health inclusive workplace at Publicis Sapient India, by nurturing its leaders to become Mental Wellbeing ambassadors. Through the course of 7 months, Edge Experts equipped participants with the necessary skills to address mental health and emotional wellness challenges of their team members.

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!
