Brainlabs

Brainlabs believe that one of the biggest steps for addressing the issue of workplace stress involves tackling the stigma surrounding the effects of stress. They have worked very hard to create an open culture and have had members of the senior team host company-wide talks on how stress has affected their mental health. They have a policy, "Brain Days", whereby employees can take a sick day off work when they feel they're being affected by stress without having to give any more explanation other than telling their manager they need a brain day.

Beyond

Beyond created Future Planet, an Action on Google (AOG) designed to reconnect humans to the challenges the natural world faces. Their aim was to encourage environmentally friendly behaviour by stating the problem and posing challenges that people can complete in their day-to-day lives. Through emotive facts, an engaging tone of voice and easy to implement challenges, Future Planet helps people to take small actions that can have a big impact on the planet's future.

All employees are given 15 paid sick days a year. They advocate for them to use this for mental not just physical health. This means they offer the chance for people to take "mental health days" so that people can be transparent and it also means as a people team, the organisation can support people better as they really know their reasons for absence.

Beyond offer a comprehensive L&D programme, which is compiled of an internal leadership & management programme, external career coaching for those stepping in to senior roles and bespoke learning programmes for top talent.
