Employee engagement and wellbeing

The expectations of today’s workforce have shifted. People want more than a paycheck—they expect purpose, autonomy, wellbeing, and a voice. And yet, many organisations still manage engagement through outdated surveys or fragmented initiatives. At ImpactWork, we see employee experience as a strategic growth lever, not a soft HR metric. Our approach to Employee Engagement & Wellbeing is built to transform your culture from reactive to resilient.

94%
of Dutch employees consider a healthy work-life balance a top priority. 61% would reject a job offer if it disrupted that balance.
Why?

The Challenge: 

Engagement is at an all-time low. Only a fraction of employees feel genuinely connected to their work. At the same time, stress-related absenteeism and burnout are rising sharply. Traditional HR frameworks struggle to address the complexity of modern work, especially in hybrid and remote environments.

Organisations that neglect employee wellbeing face costly consequences: high turnover, low productivity, and a weakening employer brand. But improving engagement is not just a matter of launching another wellbeing program. It requires an integrated, data-informed, and employee-centered approach—backed by leadership.


Our approach.

ImpactWork delivers a productized service that enables organisations to embed employee engagement and wellbeing into the core of their people strategy. This isn’t about isolated initiatives—it’s about building a continuous, company-wide Employee Experience Management (EXM) system.

Our structured approach includes: 

Experience journey scan & baseline assessment - We start by uncovering what your employees actually experience—from onboarding to exit. Through interviews, data analysis and journey mapping, we identify key touchpoints, pain points, and hidden frictions across the organisation.
Design a measurable EX strategy - Together with your teams, we define experience goals and translate them into tangible KPIs. We establish ownership, roles and rhythms—and select the right technology to support continuous feedback and improvement.
Activate the experience roadmap – We move from insight to execution. We co-create a roadmap of experience improvements—from quick wins to long-term actions—and embed it into cross-functional teams. From better onboarding to wellbeing initiatives, each action is tied to impact.
Measure, adapt, and scale – Employee experience is never done. We set up continuous listening loops, behavioural analytics, and experience dashboards. Every quarter, we evaluate what’s working, where to adapt, and how to scale success across teams and locations.
‘You don’t build a great company and then take care of your people. You take care of your people, and they build a great company.’

The impact.

True impact is not measured by policies written, but by how people feel at work—and how they choose to show up, stay, and grow.

Our approach to employee engagement and wellbeing shifts organisations from reactive to intentional. We help create cultures where people feel safe, valued, and connected to their purpose. The result? More resilient teams, stronger internal trust, and a working environment that attracts and retains the right talent.

Clients who work with us experience:

  • Clearer ownership of employee experience across the organisation

  • Greater alignment between leadership, HR, and employee needs

  • Reduced friction across key moments in the employee journey—from onboarding to growth

  • More engaged, energised teams ready to perform sustainably

  • A stronger employer brand grounded in authenticity, not slogans

But perhaps the most important shift is this:
When organisations start listening to their people—and act on what they hear—engagement becomes a system, not a sentiment.

We don’t do surface-level wellbeing. We build the infrastructure that helps people and performance thrive, long term.
