Wellbeing at Bank of England

Our health and wellbeing is important and we have worked to develop a range of services, benefits, initiatives and policies to support staff in managing their mental, physical and social wellbeing.

ThinkWell

Psychological wellbeing – offering guidance on every day matters as well as support with more serious problems. Helping to maintain a positive attitude and sense of purpose.

LiveWell

Physical wellbeing – support with health and fitness goals. Tools to manage physical activity in a way that suits your lifestyle.

BeWell

Social wellbeing – providing a wealth of social activities and networks to get involved in. Giving staff the opportunity to join in with the events that interest them and meet new people along the way.

There is a range of sources of support available to you within the Bank and outside regarding wellbeing including arrangements to support your work life balance and general wellbeing. See more below.

Work Life Balance

The Bank is committed to creating a working environment where you can successfully balance your working and home lives.

We understand that traditional work patterns don’t suit everyone, and that an individual’s needs often vary greatly over the course of a career.

We therefore aim to be as flexible as possible, offering options that include variable hours, part-time working and home-working.

There are many people across the Bank who makes the most of this flexibility, including some of our most senior employees.

Employee Assistance Programme

We also offer an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to all our people. You can access this confidential and independent service 24 hours a day to get information and emotional support if you ever need it.
