About

The Access Group are a leading provider of business management software, supporting over 160,000 small and mid-sized organisations across Europe, the USA, and APAC. The Access Group recognise that technology alone doesn’t drive success: healthy, engaged employees do. That’s why wellbeing is a core part of their culture. They recently partnered with Health@Work to achieve the Workplace Wellbeing Charter accreditation, a move that reflects their commitment to creating an environment where every individual can thrive.

The Challenge

The Access Group wanted to benchmark and improve their workplace wellbeing initiatives. While a strong strategy was already in place, the team sought external recognition and an independent assessment to highlight strengths and identify areas for improvement.

Why the Workplace Wellbeing Charter?

After reviewing several options, The Access Group found the Workplace Wellbeing Charter aligned with the company’s objective to deliver the best possible outcomes for employees.

The Charter provided an independent assessment of their existing wellbeing strategy and actionable insights for continuous improvement.

The Accreditation Process

The Access Group used the Charter’s online assessment portal to gather evidence and involve multiple stakeholders across their global network. The standards provided were clear and practical, allowing for a straightforward evaluation of their existing culture.

A standout element of the process was the direct support from their Wellbeing Consultant, Suzanne. The team found this expert guidance invaluable, providing a personal and supportive experience that set the Charter apart from other accreditations.

Results

The Workplace Wellbeing Charter Accreditation enabled The Access Group to strengthen and refine their wellbeing strategy. Key achievements include:

Achievement rating in Leadership level
Achievement rating in Physical Health
Development of a two-year wellbeing plan using the detailed report, with measurable goals
