Culture and Wellbeing at CyberLab: What We've Been up to in 2025

How our culture prioritises a healthy, happy and safe workplace

At CyberLab, our people truly are our greatest asset, which is why their wellbeing is one of our top priorities. For us, it’s not just about a once-a-year check-in; it’s about consistently nurturing wellbeing at every stage of our people’s careers.

With the recent re-launch of our Culture Ambassador Team (CAs), a group of dedicated employees who volunteer their time to support our culture and wellbeing initiatives, we’ve been able to embed wellbeing into the heart of our People strategy.

The start of 2025 has marked an exciting new chapter, filled with meaningful initiatives that reflect our ongoing commitment to supporting our team’s health and happiness.

March Wellbeing Month

To kick things off, we introduced Wellbeing Month in March, a month-long initiative designed to shine a spotlight on various aspects of wellbeing. Every week throughout March, we hosted Wellbeing Wednesday, each focusing on a new theme selected based on feedback from our team.

Mental Wellbeing

The first theme was Mental Wellbeing, where we shared practical tips for maintaining mental health: from encouraging regular breaks to the importance of connecting with others, whether it’s friends, family, or a colleague you haven’t spoken to in a while.

We were also thrilled to welcome from Creative Wellness, who led a fantastic workshop on Stress Management.

Cinzia is a wellness expert and Yoga Teacher qualified in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). She provided insightful strategies on recognizing personal stress triggers and offered fun and practical exercises that can be easily integrated into our daily routines.

Financial Wellbeing

Our second theme focused on Financial Wellbeing, a topic I’m particularly passionate about. With the rising cost of living, it’s essential to equip our people with the knowledge and tools to navigate their financial futures.

We invited Jack Steele from Fawcett Wealth Management, who held voluntary one-on-one sessions with team members to discuss personal financial circumstances and offer tailored advice. Jack also led a group session, educating our people on investment strategies and financial planning.

Women’s Wellbeing

We also dedicated a theme to Women’s Wellbeing, and based on the feedback from our team, we placed a strong emphasis on Menopause. I was especially proud that one of our own, Fiona Kinsler, volunteered to lead a session on menopause, sharing her insights on how it affects women and how we as individuals and as a business can better support women going through perimenopause or menopause.

To continue the conversation, we hosted a Menopause Café, a follow-up session for women to share experiences and learn in a safe, supportive space. We’ve already planned another session to keep the dialogue going.

Men’s Wellbeing

Our final theme for March focused on Men’s Wellbeing, and we were honoured to have ANDYSMANCLUB join us to lead a powerful and thought-provoking session.

They shared the incredible work they’re doing to support men’s mental health and reminded us all #itsokaytotalk.

Step Challenge

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting mental and physical wellbeing at work, we recently kicked off a Step Challenge in March, which was a fun and friendly initiative to get everyone moving and spark a bit of healthy competition.

The challenge invited our people to form teams of five, with the aim of racking up as many steps as possible over the course of the month. Whether it was lunchtime strolls, evening dog walks or weekend hikes, every step counted towards the team total.

The reward? The team with the highest collective step count at the end of March earned a well-deserved half-day of extra holiday, the perfect excuse to put their feet up after all that walking!

We had 25 participants in total, and together we covered a truly impressive distance, collectively walking 5,485,486 steps! Not only did the challenge encourage people to stay active, but it also created a brilliant buzz across the company and gave colleagues an extra reason to connect and support one another.

A huge well done to everyone who took part, and especially to our winning team, who stepped their way to the top!

Women in Tech

Recognising that the cyber security industry is often male dominated, we recently launched a Women in Tech group at CyberLab to support and empower women across the business.

So far, the group has led open discussions around menopause in the workplace, and we’re continuing to collaborate on ways to better support and retain women in our industry.

We have an exciting line-up of workshops planned, covering topics such as financial independence, career progression in cyber security, balancing work and motherhood, and building confidence in public speaking.

A Strong Start with More to Come

Wellbeing is more than a checklist at CyberLab, it’s part of who we are. From workshops to walking challenges, we’re proud of the positive steps we’ve taken together so far in 2025.

Thank you to everyone who’s been involved. We’re excited to keep the momentum going as we continue building a culture where everyone can thrive.
