Petri Engelen - Health and Wellbeing Lead
Accenture is a leading global professional services company that assists organizations in building a strong digital foundation, optimizing operations, accelerating revenue growth, and improving service delivery to citizens. With 738,000 employees worldwide and expertise in technology, they are capable of supporting clients in over 120 countries. Their focus is on delivering tangible value to customers, employees, partners, and shareholders.

The challenge

Employees at Accenture Netherlands are incredibly driven and intelligent, with a strong desire for continuous development. The organization itself is dynamic, and the world around us is constantly changing, leading to a fast-paced work environment. This environment is challenging and exciting, but it also requires consultants to meet client expectations under time constraints.

Many employees are motivated to achieve performance goals, milestones, and promotions. Accenture Netherlands supports their employees in prioritizing their (mental) health so they can be the best version of themselves at work and at home. Additionally, Accenture Netherlands values collaboration with a partner who understands the service sector and adopts a responsible, data-driven, and positive approach. They have high standards for data storage, security, and monitoring.

The solution

Encouraging positive behavior change in healthy working practices within a rapidly evolving organization requires a thoughtful approach and engagement at multiple levels. Therefore, the collaboration began with a select group of ambassadors and team members focused on employee satisfaction, comprising diverse profiles across the organization—from executives to interns. This pilot group formed the foundation for our approach.

Following the tremendous success of the pilot, we are rolling out the Onewave Program in waves throughout the entire organization, continuously adjusting based on valuable feedback and results.

“We find it very pleasant to work with a partner familiar with the consultancy world. A significant portion of our employees spend a considerable amount of time at client sites, which requires a different approach to your vitality strategy. It’s comforting to have a partner who understands this well and provides good advice.” – Petri Engelen, Health & Wellbeing Lead

The result

Results

After 3 years, the results of the Onewave Program are clearly visible:

  • Participants have experienced positive changes in their lifestyles, such as improved sleep patterns, more effective daily routines, better stress management, and increased focus on relaxation both at work and outside of work.
  • Our group sessions have also played a crucial role in normalizing the sharing of experiences related to stress and well-being, and in experimenting with new behaviors.

"Looking back over the past years, I can confidently say that my positive expectations have been exceeded. The efforts of Onewave have not only helped increase our awareness of energy but have also contributed to enhancing the overall vitality of individuals and the organization."
