How to make your wellbeing initiatives really work for you
When it comes to corporate wellbeing programmes, a discount at the local gym or a regular chair massage might be what springs to mind, but all that is changing. Are you ready to get up to date with what your offering. It may just be the change your company needs.
I've just had an article published in HR Zone all about how to take your wellbeing initiatives at work into the 21st century.
Full article is here.

No better time to look after your staff than NOW
Looking after the wellbeing of staff is something that can never be neglected and for some people, it's difficult to see how you can justify this when people are worried about their job security and bonuses are being stopped etc. But it is EXACTLY in this sort of climate that wellbeing will come into its own and really help a business and it's employees get stuck in and motivated again.
Even the government is getting involved.
Reading this article, Marc Woolfson of Westminster Advisers says:Although such catastrophic job losses are unlikely to be realised, HR bosses must be concerned about the effect of such a lack of confidence on productivity and workplace wellbeing.
The article goes on to advocate the role of wellbeing in times as fraught as these.Workplace health- screening and advice should be supported on an ongoing basis, rather than simply once a year.
The article is one I completely agree with and it's good to see the message spreading. Don't be duped by a recession into thinking that wellness initiatives can be shelved. They are needed now more than ever.
Encouraging employers in this way to help their staff live healthy lives and make positive choices is a sensible and effective policy, and one that can be replicated easily elsewhere.
