We are excited to announce that we have been officially recognized as a Digitally Balanced Company by the Digital Wellness InstituteOpens in a new tab. This certification reflects our commitment to fostering a healthy relationship between technology, productivity, and employee well-being. As a global organization, we recognize that maintaining this balance can be challenging, but it is critical to our business success and the well-being of our team. We are excited to continue our journey to ensure that our humans feel supported in a balanced working environment.

What does this certification mean? 

David Burke, our Senior Director of Global Talent Acquisition & Employer Brand, shared his thoughts on this achievement: "We are delighted to be recognized as a Digitally Balanced Workplace. This certification underscores our commitment to creating a supportive and balanced digital environment for our employees. We will continue to prioritize digital wellness and ensure that our team feels valued, connected and with the space they need to support their wellness, even in a digital-first world." 

Why it matters? 

In a world where technology is central to everything we do, it’s easy to fall into a pattern of over-reliance on digital tools. For us, being digitally balanced means cultivating a work environment where our teams feel empowered to disconnect when necessary and use technology in a way that enhances rather than detracts from their overall well-being and connection with others.  

As a global organization, we face unique challenges—time zone differences, varying digital demands, and different work cultures across regions. However, we are dedicated to addressing these challenges and ensuring that every member of our global team benefits from a culture that prioritizes digital wellness. Wellness is also at the core of our mission to make work human. Research we have conducted with Gallup consistently shows that people who are recognized at work feel more valued and appreciated for their efforts, helping to improve their wellbeing. Recognizing our humans also helps to show appreciation for what they are doing, which in turn improves motivation and job satisfaction, making them less likely to feel stressed, helping to nurture a sense of belonging and connectedness to the organization and their colleagues. 

 
Our Continued Commitment 

This certification is just the beginning of our digital balance journey. We are committed to regularly reviewing and refining our digital practices to ensure that we maintain this balance as we grow and evolve. This includes leveraging the feedback and insights from the certification survey to offer training, promote mindful technology use, and create spaces where open conversations around digital well-being can take place. We will continue to monitor how these conversations happen and take further feedback on board to advance our company’s digitally mindful practices. 

Finally, thank you to our humans for being part of this journey. We are proud of this achievement and look forward to continuing to promote a healthy, balanced approach to digital work across our global organization.
