One easy way to boost your wellbeing ROI in 2015

There's only one way to ensure maximum value for money with your future wellbeing initiatives and that's to deliver a programme of events that staff get excited about and that they make use of regularly.  
 
An effective way to highlight what will deliver the biggest impact moving forwards is to arrange a wellbeing day packed with taster sessions, vital information and key resources.  These events are always fun and memorable.  
 
Here are two great reasons to organise a wellbeing event:
 
1) Staff will immediately benefit from some great initiatives such as:

• Fitness assessments
• Healthy eating consultations
• Sleep clinic
• Wellbeing workshops
• Back care clinic
• Massage
• Podiatry consultations
• Exercise advice
• Injury clinic
• Personal resilience consultations

2) At the same time, each event provides the ideal opportunity for us, and you, to gather information on wellbeing trends, concerns, issues and desires throughout the organisation.  This information is crucial to planning your wellbeing programme, schedule, budget and all important future Return On Investment.

If you need any further persuasion, here's some feedback from previous events:

‘One Word - BRILLIANT. 
Everything ran smoothly, I had a lot of great feedback from staff and would like to do this again next year.’

'We had an amazing day thank you, please pass on our thanks to the whole team.'
 
‘Thanks to you and your team for the great wellbeing day yesterday! Feedback has been great, and take up was high too.'

Boost profits with wellbeing

Here's some evidence to support what we've suspected for a long time: There is a direct link between employers’ profitability and investing in issues such as the health and wellbeing of staff and ethical corporate behaviour.

These are the findings of research published by Business in the Community (BITC), a membership organisation with the remit of promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR).

A study undertaken for BITC by Ipsos Mori among 100 FTSE 100 companies found that those firms that actively worked to improve staff wellbeing and enforce workplace health policies saw a 10% boost to their financial performance. This was because they reaped the benefits of higher employee engagement, reduced absentee and attrition rates as well as enhanced corporate reputation.

So if your business is looking to boost its financial results, we can help you design an effective wellbeing programme.

Stress? What Stress?

It's National Stress Awareness Day today and members of our team have been out in various businesses delivering a variety of yoga, relaxation and stress relieving wellbeing sessions.

It's been a really encouraging and rewarding day.

Many of the sessions were oversubscribed and we met loads of people who, rather than reporting that they feel weighed down with stress and are struggling to cope, arrived at the sessions fully appreciating that a certain level of stress is inevitable in an ambitious and fulfilling life, and looking to find new strategies to help them manage their stress levels to achieve a better overall balance in everything they do.

This positive mindset of those who took part seems to have a lot to do with how the sessions were communicated in advance, with the focus not being placed on coming along simply to understand more about a very common issue, but to take part in practical sessions and leave with solutions they can use every day from now on.

So the message is clear. When it comes to engaging your staff in any new initiatives, wellbeing or otherwise, focus as much attention on how you promote your ideas as you do on what initiatives you decide to implement in the first place. Most people are looking to improve their personal and professional situation to some degree, so communicating with messages that explain the individual and immediate benefits of taking part will ensure you get maximum sign up and the best return on your investment in your programmes and your people.
