Employee Well-Being

A material impact area for our people

Our Goal

Support our employees’ financial, physical, and personal well-being through robust educational programs and resources that provide tangible benefits.

We believe that the well-being of our businesses cannot be separated from the well-being of our employees. Our global well-being program, Thrive, provides education, support, and incentives that help employees make positive lifestyle choices and better long-term decisions—physically, financially, and personally. And because well-being can mean different things to different people at different stages in their lives, our program encompasses tangible benefits— from overall compensation to healthcare and retirement programs—as well as more personal elements, such as those focused on culture, leadership, and belonging.

Recently, some of our highest-priority areas included: mental health, household support, physical engagement, addressing race-based traumatic stress, and educational initiatives that fostered empathy and compassion. Each approach required an inclusive lens to ensure our solutions met the diverse needs of our workforce.

I have been a Thrive participant and Champion since its inception. How lucky BBHers are to have such a wonderful platform to make sure we are maintaining a healthy lifestyle! During the pandemic, it was so nice to connect with my co-workers through the platform’s weekend walking challenges.

Now that we are in the office again, I enjoy promoting Thrive with fun in person events. These events allow us to get to know new colleagues that we were unable to meet during our time in an entirely work from home environment. Engaging with one another is key to our mental health as well, which is one of the other pillars of Thrive.
