Fauna & Flora is one of the world's oldest conservation organisations, working since 1903 to protect threatened species and ecosystems. While headquartered in Cambridge, UK, their team operates across more than 19 countries through a globally distributed structure. To prioritise the wellbeing of their employees, Fauna & Flora has partnered with Mind over Tech, a leading workplace training partner that elevates performance through digital habits.

Working across distributed cultures and timezones can easily disrupt focus and erode work life boundaries, as well as a sense of connection with colleagues. While Fauna & Flora already had a robust wellbeing initiative, they needed a way to tackle the challenges presented by digital overwhelm in a more directly way. It was essential for this process to be inclusive of people across the many countries and cultures that make up the organisation.

We ran a company-wide pilot event with the aim to build a case for a bigger programme. The resulting impact report helped secure a two year funding grant by demonstrating the ROI through a dramatic increase in confidence to apply digital wellbeing strategies.

We then worked collaboratively with the global wellbeing lead to develop a strategic partnership over a two year period. This included an integrated programme of sessions across different teams, regions with live translation into multiple languages. We also delivered leadership training and a train the trainer programme.
