Over one third of the global workforce regularly work excessively long hours, which is defined as more than 48 hours per week. With such time commitment to the workplace, the provision of effective wellbeing services for employees is becoming increasingly more important.
In addition, offering a robust and creative wellness programme for employees can provide a competitive edge in the race to attract the best talent.
Research has identified a strong positive correlation between employee wellbeing, productivity and company performance.
Additional benefits include:
Increased Employee Engagement
Increased Employee Retention
Reduced Healthcare Costs
Stronger Sense of Community
Fewer Sick Days
Because many of us spend most of our waking hours in the workplace, it is the ideal environment to establish healthy habits and behaviours. The camaraderie and accountability that the workplace provides, can make healthy habits much easier to embed and maintain.
Individual self-discipline and will-power is unlikely to prevail in an environment that does not actively support healthy behaviour. By identifying and breaking through the barriers to wellness in your workplace, we can help you create a happier, more cohesive, attractive and productive work environment.
The 5 Pillars of Workplace Wellness
Stress resilience
Work-related stress and anxiety have accounted for 44% of ill health and 54% of working days lost days lost since 2018.
High levels of perceived stress are also associated with heart disease, which is the leading cause of death worldwide, and also a strong risk factor for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
The latest science on stress reveals how we can improve our health, performance and resilience to stress through a range of simple mind-body techniques that we cover during our workplace wellness programmes.
Nutrition
Convenience is a key determinant of eating habits at work. By engineering your work environments to make healthier food choices more convenient and effortless, we can help you and your team establish greater consistency in healthy eating, with less effort and self-discipline.
We will also demystify the confusion and noise around what to eat and when to eat, for better mood, appearance, concentration, and energy.
Sleep
The effects of sleep loss include reduced focus, attention, vigilance and increases in errors and vulnerability to stress
People sleeping on average less than 6 hours per night, have a 13% greater risk of death than those sleeping between 7-9 hrs.
We will provide you and your team with effective sleep hacks that can instantly improve the quality and duration of your sleep, as well as the quality of your life.
Movement
The average person is now sitting for 12 hours per day!
Our sedentary lifestyles often referred to as the ‘Sitting Disease’ is the 4th largest risk factor for global mortality.
Interspersing our sitting with regular ‘movement snacks’ can significantly improve our mood, concentration, productivity and overall sense of well-being.
As part of your workplace wellness programme, we will identify opportunities to build movement snacks into your work environment to help you clock up your steps/activity levels and all the feel good benefits of moving more often.
Mindset
Research conducted by Gallup suggests that majority of people in the workplace are either not engaged or actively disengaged in their day to day work.
Company wellness programmes bring people together, build camaraderie and reduce depression.
Employee Wellness programmes align employer and employee goals more closely, and increase employee engagement with the company’s mission and goals.
To make good habits stick, we need a big enough ‘Why’. Before we start the programme we will drill down to the most compelling reasons why good health is important to you.
We will then help you anchor your reasons down to provide the motivation, accountability and inspiration needed to make your new habits as normal as brushing your teeth!
