Our wellbeing approach

At Serco, our colleague wellbeing offer isn’t about ticking boxes, we want to deliver a meaningful difference to our people, recognising their diverse needs, which is why we structure our approach across 4 key areas of impact.

Everyone has opportunities to improve their life

Everyone has ease & equality of access to things they need

Everyone has a community of support around things that matter to them

People and processes that care about everyone as a person

By you, for you:

Given the diverse nature of work and experiences across Serco it is important that our approach to colleague wellbeing is representative for all our people. That’s why we make every effort to ensure all colleagues have a voice and can get involved to share feedback and shape our offer. Some of the ways this happens include:

  • Wellbeing allies: our network of trained wellbeing allies meet monthly to share ideas, get a first look at new initiatives and discuss best practice.

  • Colleague listening: From our annual Viewpoint survey through to local pulse checks, we regularly give colleagues opportunity to provide confidential feedback, which is reported through our committee structure, up to board level.

  • Network Groups: We regularly collaborate with all our DEI network groups to explore the specific wellbeing challenge their members face. Find out more

 

Benchmarking ourselves for best practice

We don’t believe in marking our own homework so have sought to measure ourselves against the highest industry recognised standards to demonstrate our commitment to your health and wellbeing and identify opportunities for us to go further.
