Rhonda Cynon Taf Council needed a robust, datadriven method to understand and monitor staff wellbeing across its workforce. The organisation aimed to align its wellbeing strategy with real-time insight and track the effectiveness of interventions over time.
Confidential Cari® consultations for all staff, administered two to three times per year, to provide support, evaluate impact and refine the ongoing wellbeing approach. Analytical reports summarising wellbeing trends, brain capability, stress levels and risk indicators. Targeted insights presented to senior leadership to guide strategy and resource allocation. Follow-up Cari® assessments 12 months later to evaluate impact and refine the ongoing wellbeing approach.
The ongoing Cari® assessments enabled RCT to build and evolve a strategic wellbeing roadmap rooted in real-world staff experiences. Senior leadership received clear indications of where interventions were most needed (such as sleep support) and could launch tailored initiatives accordingly. By measuring twice per year, the council tracked meaningful shifts in wellbeing and risk, ensuring the strategy remained evidence-based, adaptable, and impactful. This cyclical process helped endorse a responsive wellbeing culture where decisions were shaped by real staff data.
Cari has been really helpful in understanding and identifying our wellbeing level and then enables us to target the right support interventions in the right place. [A good example is sleep, Cari told us a high proportion of staff were thinking about work before they went to sleep, something we would not have known. In order to support we developed a wellbeing bitesize session on let's talk about sleep, raising awareness on why and how to improve your sleep.]
