As a responsible business we recognise our role in creating a working environment that enables our people to be healthy, well and energised. Through listening to our people to understand what really matters to them, our global wellbeing strategy takes sustainable steps to protect and enhance wellbeing throughout our firm."

Wellbeing

Our vision is to enable everyone at Clifford Chance to thrive at work through taking sustainable steps to protect and enhance the energy, health and performance of our people.

Enhance visibility
 We boost awareness, bringing health and performance into our everyday vocabulary.

Increase capability
 We educate our people and leaders about wellbeing, and provide the right mix of tools, benefits, services and support.

Nurture authenticity
 We encourage each other to speak openly and are honest about where we are as a firm.

Build ownership
 We all play a role in creating a healthy environment, by taking ownership of our own health and supporting those around us.

Promote good work
 We identify and promote healthy working practices that help us deliver fulfilling and sustainable performance.

Bigger than us

We recognise that thriving in law requires all of us to come together - as colleagues, as teams, as a firm and as an industry.

Empowering everyone to thrive

Bolstering our key enablers, and in addition to our culture at Clifford Chance, we deliver a range of initiatives and networks to engage and encourage our firm to deliver good work. We host learning opportunities and sessions with experts, support an internal Mental Health Champions network and enjoy a range of holistic support pathways and excellent office facilities across our global footprint.

"We want everyone to have a great experience working at Clifford Chance, feeling energised, well and ready for whatever the day brings. We're not standing still – we're listening to what our people want and evolving our offering all the time. We're committed to helping everyone be their best selves both in the firm and by working with the industry to drive positive change. Watch this space!"
