Our commitment to the work we do is driven by a shared passion for taking worker wellbeing beyond compliance and into the heart of business strategies. At GBL, we follow a culture handbook that serves as a guide on how we approach internal worker wellbeing. Our organizational values strive to create and sustain a culture of care, communication, and collaboration. They are evidence of our commitment to a work environment that is productive, meaningful, and lively.


We live out our values and ensure worker wellbeing translates to internal operations at GBL.

  • Our organizational wellbeing budget offers curated events to enhance team members’ holistic health. 
  • The employee-specific budgets are tailored for each team member to support their own mental and physical health growth. They receive a well-being budget to help prioritize their holistic health, wherein they can claim reimbursement for therapy/yoga/home office set up, subscription for mindfulness apps. apps - anything they can reasonably argue improves their physical or mental health. Team members also receive individual training and development budgets to help grow their professional skills. 
  • Along with growth, restful nourishment is critical to productivity and wellbeing. We have devised various policies through which we empower team members to rest.
  • We have instituted a one-day leave which empowers verticals to take a mandatory off on any one day every month. GBL also encourages team members to individually select two mandated one-week breaks every summer and winter.
  • Parallelly, GBL believes in creating a work environment that prioritizes individual growth with full transparency and accountability. GBL uses a 360 review framework and has devised detailed employee growth paths. At every stage, our promotion and appraisal processes remain accountable to all team members by ensuring decisions are fair, equitable, and transparent across teams. 
  • We are a diverse team of people who care about creating a world where all workers in low-income contexts are treated fairly, and at the same time, ensure our team members lead a fulfilling life while driving this change. GBL actively engages in geography-specific affirmative action policies such as reservations for internships for marginalized communities across our offices in India.
