Earlier this year global technology and management consultancy, Capco, ran a week-long programme of events as part of a mental health initiative to support staff through the latest lockdown. The Capco Cares programme included a “reverse panel” with senior leaders asking employees questions, yoga, boxercise, meditation, mindfulness sessions, a virtual cook-along, and a self-care masterclass.
Founded in Belgium in 1998, Capco's UK operation is based in London with an office in Edinburgh. The private company specialises in driving digital transformation in the financial services industry and has a growing client portfolio of more 100 organisations worldwide.
Senior bosses model the Be Yourself at Work culture, which celebrates differences and encourages individual views and contributions by sharing their experiences of mental ill health, practising and advocating more flexible ways of working, and supporting employees with personal challenges related to Covid-19.
Members of the Leadership Team run virtual “open door” sessions, where employees of any level can book a one-to-one appointments and the firm's hugely popular Friday Reflection slot, enables individuals from across the business to share their personal perspectives.
Reflecting its commitment to inclusion and diversity, Capco organised a Together against Racism virtual event on racism in the wake of the death of American George Floyd.
Minimal bureaucracy ensures staff have plenty of opportunities to work on different projects, make a real contribution to developing the business and enhance their personal skills and experience.
