BUILDING A BUSINESS THAT FEELS GOOD

At Positive Experience, we don’t believe in burnout being a badge of honour. We believe in building a company culture where people feel heard, supported, empowered and well. Because when people feel good, they do great things. That’s why wellbeing isn’t an afterthought here, it’s embedded into everything we do.

According to the Mental Health Foundation, 1 in 6.8 people experience mental health problems in the workplace. Stress, anxiety, and burnout account for over 50% of all work-related ill health cases in the UK. When people feel unwell, unsupported, or overwhelmed, performance suffers and so does creativity, collaboration, and culture. We wanted to do things differently.

So we built a wellbeing policy that reflects the way we want to work, with purpose, with care, and with the kind of clarity that puts people first. From how we hire and onboard to how we support, train, and celebrate our team, wellbeing is central.

We don’t just talk about it we show up for it, every day. Here’s what our team has access to:

Free access to the Wisdom app – with on-demand wellbeing content and exercise classes
Free gym membership – because movement matters
Cycle to work scheme – supporting greener commutes and active lifestyles
Mental health & wellbeing activity days – because rest and recovery are powerful
Paid time off to volunteer – two full days a year to give back to our communities
Generous annual leave + hybrid working options – to support work/life balance
Twice-yearly appraisals, team socials & away days – because culture isn’t built in a boardroom
A clear onboarding handbook – setting the tone from day one
Training for every employee – covering JEDI (justice, equity, diversity & inclusion), mental health, sexual harassment, and wellbeing
Dedicated HR manager + workplace policies – for ongoing, accessible support
Living Wage employer – with transparency and fairness built in

And it doesn’t stop there. Every team member has access to structured support, whether it’s through our Mental Health & Wellbeing Champion, dedicated HR, or simply an open-door policy where talking about how you feel is always encouraged.

According to Deloitte, poor mental health costs UK employers upto £56 billion a year, but for every £1 spend on staff wellbeing, businesses see a return of up to £5 in improved productivity, morale and retention. We believe looking after your people is the most important investment a business can make. It creates safer spaces, stronger teams, and better outcomes for our clients, our culture, and the planet.

We’re proud of the creative, values-led work we do with some of the UK’s most forward-thinking brands. But it only works because of the people behind the scenes and the positive environment we work hard to build for them. Whether we’re producing zero-emissions sampling tours or reducing single-use at trade shows, our values start at home. Because we can’t champion wellbeing out in the world if we’re not living it inside our own four walls.
