Our goal is to be a company with the healthiest employees in the world. Our BeHealthy initiative encourages employees to have healthy habits — not just at work, but everywhere.

A bank’s health is usually associated with higher profits and brand value. But a bank needs to look after its employees’ health and well-being, too, in order to achieve its targets and grow.

Santander wants its employees to lead a healthy lifestyle at work and beyond. Years ago, we came up with BeHealthy, a global health and wellness programme based on these four pillars: 

8.4 /10

How our employees scored the question on whether they’re given the flexibility they need for a good work-life balance

Workshops to promote healthy habits

Aside from the awareness programme, every year we organize workshops as part of our BeHealthy Week. Over several days, employees learn the benefits of healthy habits in seminars about nutrition, exercise, illness prevention and emotional stability. Some involve visits to Santander Group City’s Produce Processing Centre, first aid classes and online hangouts to share best practices. 

This year, under the banner “Your well-being, from head to toe”, we’ll be putting the spotlight on the balance between physical, mental and social health. 

Santander is convinced that a healthy lifestyle helps boost employees' drive and strengthens bonds at the workplace. A healthy team is no doubt happier, more committed and more productive. It’s a win-win for everyone.
