OPEN partner with GetZeN to support wellbeing at work.

1 August 2023

OPEN are proud to announce a new partnership with well-being services provider, GetZen.

OPEN place our people at the heart of everything we do, and that’s why being mindful of their wellbeing is a non-negotiable for us.

We already have a long-established culture of wellbeing activities and initiatives at OPEN, including our Culture Tuesdays series which has seen us take on a vast array of team activities this year including: kayaking, golfing, cinema trips, spa days, axe-throwing and obstacle courses to name just a few.

These have proved very successful with high uptake and shining reports from the team, however now we’ve formalised this process by partnering with GetZen, we’re hoping to build on this by implementing some more specialised activities for us as a whole.

GetZen offer a different perspective on the Wellbeing process, informing decisions based on a thorough research programme into the problems employees are facing in the workplace. This aims to reduce reactive planning and activities which miss the mark, offering the right wellbeing programmes at the right time.

For us, having the options between a wide range of therapies and activities, including ones we may not have previously considered, is something we’re looking forward to integrating into the business.

We’ve recently received the results of our first employee survey to identify our areas of importance, and are currently in the process of designing our unique wellbeing calendar for the rest of the year.

‘We have absolutely loved working with the GetZeN team so far – they’ve been super helpful getting the team set up and we’re excited to work with them on bringing specified wellbeing programs to the OPEN team. Staff wellbeing has always been a main focus for us here at OPEN, and by partnering with trained experts at GetZeN we’re cementing our commitment to mental health support in the workplace.

Now that we’re familiar with the platform, and well underway with the ‘How are you?’ section of the onboarding process, we can’t wait to get started on our journey with GetZeN.’

Stay tuned as we document our journey with GetZen, as we plan our programme over the coming months.
