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.
I have confidence in the leadership skills of the senior management team
Capco runs fortnightly Lunch with Leadership calls to provide business and people updates and to answer employee questions with different leaders leading each call. Virtual quarterly Town Halls celebrate individual and team successes and showcase new initiatives, as well as providing general business news.
My team is fun to work with
Capco has kept staff feeling connected with regular informal team catch-ups and a range of events and activities including quizzes, bingo and a performance from a magician. Employees participated in a team-based running challenge in November, which saw them clock up nearly 20,000km and raise £3,500 for charity.
My organisation encourages charitable activities
Last year Capco raised £50,000 for a range of charities including Hackney Foodbank, and Veterans Aid and employees completed 400 hours of volunteering despite the ongoing pandemic. Staff continued to support education and youth empowerment through various initiatives including pro-bono consulting.
