GeoAR Games: Systems Theory of Change Framework implementation in GeoAR

Geo AR is a female-led, purpose-driven gaming company where employee wellbeing is foundational to how we operate and create impact. We’ve developed and implemented systemic, evidence-based practices into our culture from weekly check-ins and monthly coaching workshops to a flat, trust-based structure and mission-aligned work. Our wellbeing approach empowers individuals with lifelong skills in mental health, fostering resilience and self-leadership. As a result, we’ve seen measurable improvements in engagement, purpose, and retention.

Our diverse, neuro-inclusive team thrives through flexible work, inclusive practices, and equitable leadership pathways. Wellbeing is also embedded externally in our supplier code, customer content, and community outreach. We’ve developed and implemented a Theory of Impact Through People framework, ensuring continuous learning and alignment with our mission to deliver positive social and environmental impact through immersive experiences. At Geo AR, wellbeing is not an initiative; it’s the system powering innovation, equity, and long-term impact inside and out.

Opportunity Green: Putting people first so they can tackle the gaps in climate action

Opportunity Green is a small but mighty climate change charity, with two key organisational objectives:

1. To have impact by reducing climate change and its impacts.
2. To be a great place to work where great staff are valued and treated well.

We believe that if we hire brilliant, talented staff who are enabled to do their jobs well through a supportive work environment that prioritises wellbeing, they will be more productive and effective in tackling climate change.

Our people-first approach includes:
– A four-day week paid at a five-day salary
– Progressive parental leave policy with 26 week’s full-paid leave for all new parents (men and women)
– A strong emphasis on equality, diversity and inclusion in all that we do

In staff surveys, 90% of staff agreed that the four-day week benefits their health and wellbeing and 80% said it has had a positive impact on their work.

Ingenio San Antonio: Shade, Rest and Hydration Program for Employee Well-Being

The Initiative was created by Ingenio San Antonio (ISA) along with Bonsucro, Industry Associations and Research Centers. It focuses on research to better understand global risks faced by workers, particularly in labor intensive industries, due to unregulated high-work intensities and occupational exposures such as heat stress caused by climate change. It has developed world-class occupational safety and health standards, based on Ingenio San Antonio’s experience, that are applicable to other industries globally. Learnings are generated through a pioneering on-site program of interventions focused on rest, shade, hydration and sanitation.
