“It is an absolute pleasure to be the Co-Chair of the B Well initiative together with Geoff Lloyd. Our work kicked off pre-COVID and is now more relevant and more necessary than ever anticipated.
We are a small team of dedicated individuals, established to bring together corporates to learn together, and to collectively take urgent action to improve mental health and wellness in the workplace.
We are all very proud of the work produced to date and I feel the opportunity we have going forward has no limits.”
“The B Well initiative was created following our members discussing the range of important individual activities being undertaken by Australian companies, and yet we quickly recognised there were gaps.
In addition to the need for a community of like-minded CEOs focussed on improving mental wellbeing, we also identified the need to develop supporting tools to help address this serious issue in the workplace.”
The B Well Coalition is a group of CEOs working together to develop inspirational, next-generation ideas accommodating the way our work environment will look in the future and how we should measure the impact of those activities.
The B Well aims to:
We commit to demonstrably improve the mental health and wellbeing of our people.
We believe that improved mental wellbeing is a strategic advantage and will ensure that the success of our company does not come at the cost of the health of our people.
We strive to ensure our people have the best mental wellbeing of any organisation in Australia.
The B Well Coalition’s first major activation is the creation of an annual assessment tool for measuring mental wellbeing culture within organisations.
It is focused, it is easy and, most importantly, it’s impactful.
The B Well Coalition’s national assessment tool for measuring mental wellbeing culture will provide a better understanding of the workplace’s cultural capacity to foster positive mental wellbeing across key domains of self, safety, flow, relationships, curiosity, and trust.
The national pilot begins October 2021, so it's not too late for your organisation to get involved.
The B Well Coalition is an initiative of The B Team Australasia.
The B Team Australasia is a regional organisation which brings together committed business leaders across Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia to collectively drive progress towards a better way of doing business by enhancing their people and the planet.
“The time is right for each of us to demonstrate how business leaders can and will create an even better world. We look forward to inspiring others to join the movement.”
- Lynette Mayne, Executive Chair of The B Team Australasia.
The B Team Australasia is part of the international non-profit organisation The B Team, which was co-founded by Richard Branson and Jochen Zeitz in 2012, based on their mutual belief that business can, and must, be a driving force for social, environmental, and economic benefit.
