Case Study: East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust strengthens staff wellbeing with Perkbox

East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust strengthens wellbeing for 10,000+ staff with Perkbox

East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust, a large NHS employer with over 10,000 staff, faced the challenge of supporting its workforce during the cost-of-living crisis amid rising reports of burnout and stress. The Trust sought a new employee benefits and wellbeing platform from Perkbox to make support easy to access and embed wellbeing into everyday working life.

By implementing Perkbox's platform, which consolidated benefits and provided a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), the Trust created a central hub for wellbeing support. The solution empowered staff to quickly access personalized help, as demonstrated by one colleague's positive experience with counselling. This approach, combined with compassionate leadership, fostered a supportive culture that encouraged peers to seek help, significantly strengthening the employee experience for the large workforce.
