EngagementScan at PwC

PwC attaches a lot of value to a healthy work life balance. Combining the two in such a way that you get energy out of it makes you dedicated to what you do. The 365 EngagementScan proved to be a solid basis for improving the engagement of the employees as well as their employability.

When people are the main asset

"Nearly 5,000 professionals provide business services to companies at PwC in the Netherlands. Our people are our greatest asset. Many of those people are in the 'rush hour' of their lives. They have active social lives, a powerful career drive, tend to have a family with young children. Is everything balanced with the resilience of the employee? In order to improve this resilience, we decided to focus on engagement. All of our employees were offered the opportunity to participate in the 365 EngagementScan. A scan with a broad view of health, vitality and engagement,"
comments Casper van Leeuwen, Pwc Human Capital Director

About the cooperation

The cooperation between PwC and 365 started in 2006. The company was looking for ways to improve the mental and physical resilience of its employees and to thus strengthen the organisation. The EngagementScan was the starting point. We used this scan to check not just physical health, but also talents, motivation and sources of energy. In the years that followed, a number of employees were offered interventions on an individual basis. Examples are 365/KeurCompany programmes aimed at exercise, nutrition and lifestyle for people with unhealthy lifestyles. In this way, PwC has focused successfully on engagement and on improving the enduring employability of its people for years now.
