Employee Well-Being

A material impact area for our people

Our Goal

Support our employees’ financial, physical, and personal well-being through robust educational programs and resources that provide tangible benefits.

At BBH, the well-being of our business is deeply connected to the well-being of our employees. Our global well-being program, Thrive, helps BBHers make positive lifestyle choices — physically, financially, and personally — through education, support programs, and incentives. As well-being can mean different things to different people at different stages in their lives, our program encompasses tangible benefits — such as overall compensation, healthcare, and retirement programs — as well as more personal elements, such as those focused on culture, leadership, and belonging.

Recently, some of our highest-priority areas included: mental health awareness, household support, physical engagement, addressing race-based traumatic stress, and educational initiatives that fostered empathy and compassion. Each approach required an inclusive lens to ensure our solutions met the diverse needs of our workforce.

In recent years, events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, along with geopolitical conflict and socioeconomic inequalities, have dramatically increased the need to amplify investment in mental health resources for our colleagues and their families. At BBH, we are committed to prioritizing mental health and recognize it as an integral part of our colleague’s general health and well-being. We strive to invest deeply in our BBH community through myriad and evolving resources that reflect the critical significance of mental health.
