Health & Wellbeing
Your wellbeing matters to us in every sense. At Thatcham Research, we take a holistic approach to supporting our colleagues, recognising that wellbeing is about more than just physical health. It’s about feeling balanced, connected, supported, and valued.
Mental Wellbeing
We know that looking after your mind is just as important as caring for your body. That’s why colleagues have access to a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), alongside eLearning modules and webinars designed to support mental health.
We also provide a dedicated Reflection Room, a quiet, calming space to pause and reset during the day. Initiatives like our Menopause Café create safe forums for open conversations, helping us normalise dialogue around wellbeing.
Physical Wellbeing
From free health checks to walk-and-talk meetings, we encourage colleagues to look after their physical health in ways that fit into everyday life.
Our team takes part in activities like the 5K challenge to raise funds for Ben, the automotive charity, blending fitness with community impact. We also support flexibility at work to help colleagues find the right balance between personal and professional life.
Social Wellbeing
Wellbeing is also about feeling connected. Our Sports & Social Club brings colleagues together through activities, while our Summer and Winter events across both sites give everyone the chance to celebrate together.
We also create opportunities throughout the year for colleagues to connect informally, building relationships that make work more enjoyable and meaningful.
Financial Wellbeing
We understand that financial security is a key part of overall wellbeing. That’s why colleagues have access to a financial wellbeing app, offering practical tools and direct support from a financial coach.
Whether it’s budgeting advice, planning for the future, or building financial confidence, we provide resources to help colleagues feel in control.
Getting Recognised
Feeling valued is central to wellbeing. Through our DRIVE recognition programme, we celebrate achievements big and small, shining a light on the effort, innovation, and teamwork that make Thatcham Research thrive.
Recognition is part of our culture, ensuring every colleague knows their contribution matters.
