Marvin OnumonuPhoebus Software has introduced new wellbeing measures for staff, using software development principles to shape its approach.
The company has launched an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) offering confidential support 24/7 for workers and their families.
A series of health and wellbeing webinars have also taken place, covering physical, emotional and financial topics.
Additionally, Phoebus has set up a ‘work from anywhere’ policy, which allows staff to work away from their usual location for several weeks each year, in addition to its existing hybrid model.
Employees now only attend the office one day per week.
The company also introduced a volunteering policy, so staff can support causes they care about during working hours.
This is in addition to its partnerships with Helping Hands and the Family Care Trust.
Kate Langton (pictured), CPO at Phoebus, said: “It means listening to employees through surveys, testing new wellbeing initiatives, and iterating based on real feedback.
“This continuous improvement loop has led to greater engagement, lower attrition and enhanced internal mobility.
“At Phoebus, we believe our people are our greatest asset, and their wellbeing and development are paramount to our success.”
Langton added: “We have an unwavering focus on building a workplace where people feel supported, included, and empowered to succeed both for today and into the future.”
Phoebus plans to install a wellbeing kiosk for staff to track health metrics and get personalised advice on forming healthier habits.
The company will also introduce a positive impact ambassadors team to push its environmental, social and governance strategy.
Neurodiversity training is another priority, as the company recognises the importance of supporting neurodivergent staff in the technology sector.
Richard Pike, chief sales and marketing officer at Phoebus, said: “The more I speak with our clients and prospects, the more it comes across that being ethical and committed to diversity, inclusion and wellbeing is a huge part of their decision-making process.”
