To help support wellbeing we have trained ‘Mental Health Champions’ across each of our business areas, and we have invested in wellbeing apps such as Thrive and Peppy. You will reimagine what’s possible: creating value for the world’s leading organisations through technology to build a sustainable, more inclusive future.
