A new PDF document is available outlining five key principles that support the successful implementation of workplace wellbeing initiatives.
The principles are underpinned by a review of the relevant literature, encompassing 75 scientific studies of workplace wellbeing initiatives involving over 16,000 people, sourced from peer-reviewed academic journals. There are a number of real life examples and quotes and these are based on interviews with 42 people (senior managers, health and wellbeing leads and frontline workers) across six companies.
These 5 C’s are important, evidence-based ways of working towards better workplace wellbeing.
- Communication
- Coherence
- Commitment
- Consistency
- Creativity.
The document outlines why these are important and offers insight into what practitioners are doing to follow these principles.

Why we did this
The Evolve Workplace Wellbeing team worked on a range of Work and Learning-related projects for the What Works Centre for Wellbeing from 2015. Other partners of the Centre also developed materials on these topics.
The What Works Centre for Wellbeing made their resources free to use and share under Creative Commons license nc-sa-4.0. Given the Centre’s closure, we archived the Centre’s work-related briefings, reports, case study evidence and guides (accessible via the Resources page) to support a legacy and ongoing use for this important material, under the same license terms.
However, some of the material on the What Works Centre for Wellbeing website was only presented as content on web pages, not as downloadable documents. Given that our team provided the original content we have reformatted this into a downloadable PDF. Please take a look!
