Be Well, Work Well is our effort to create an environment where our people are encouraged to bring their best selves to work.
At PwC, we are committed to sustainable performance and supporting our people in staying well. This includes working to ensure that our organisational systems, practices and behaviours are supportive of our people’s wellbeing.
We aim to support our employees in achieving greater wellbeing by fueling themselves across six dimensions of energy: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, social, and financial.

We see wellbeing and sustainable performance as the balance of six energy dimensions and as the basis for sustainable people performance. It implies a sense of thriving, enjoying life to the fullest, and allows us to live and work at our best.
Wellbeing, sustainable performance and mental health awareness and support are also leadership skills. Be Well, Work Well gives our people the tools and resources they need to be better leaders — at work, home and in their communities — by leading with compassion, resilience, and inspiration.
Mental energy is your ability to drive focus and direct your attention at will – your attention is like any other muscle, the more you train it, the stronger it gets.
Emotional energy is your internal climate from which you act and react – your emotions impact your performance, the higher your reservoir of positive emotions, the more resilient you are.
Physical energy is your fundamental source of energy – your energy expenditure should be balanced with intermittent energy renewal, so you perform at your best in a sustainable way.
Spiritual energy taps into your individual core values and your purpose – you serve yourself and others best when you act in alignment with your values.
Social energy describes our ability to sustain relationships at all levels (personally and professionally, in person or virtually) and reap the benefits of strong social connections. This includes lower anxiety and depression, stronger emotion management and higher self-esteem and empathy, which can all help to improve our immune systems.
Financial energy refers to your capability to take control of your finances to sustain or attain financial security — salary, savings, investments, retirement and credit.
