Free Wellbeing Review for Your Business

To help organisations achieve fantastic results with a wellbeing programme we provide a complimentary review of their current approach in this area.  

This is something we do regularly with clients and it's a vital process whether you're in the early stages of developing a programme or you've been running initiatives for years. 

The review has a clear objective: to ensure that you get the results you deserve in return for the investment you make in employee wellbeing, and to check that you reach the widest possible audience with a targeted and exciting range of initiatives.

The review can be conducted during a meeting or via phone, Skype or FaceTime and we'll only need 20-30 minutes together for us to be able to make some recommendations based on our previous experience.

To illustrate the value of the review here are some press articles showing a selection of our ideas in action:

Being in control of your own work patterns has clear health and wellbeing benefits

Flexible working might be beneficial for employees' health if they are allowed to have input into their own working patterns, a review by Cochrane Researchers at Durham University suggests. Click here to read more about the review.

This makes perfect sense and bears out what I've been saying for a long time.

People find work stressful if they perceive they're working in a way that feels beyond their control - that includes working hours that don't suit them, projects they don't enjoy or working with people they don't get along with.

All of these situations leave people feeling compromised, and feeling compromised for too long leads to stress, and stress impacts on health and wellbeing.

Taking responsibility for the hours we work is one way to take back control of our working lives and, as the review suggests, will have a positive impact on our health and wellbeing.

Taking back control for our health and wellbeing itself is a further step in the right direction.

Too many people blame work commitments for not being able to take exercise, eat the right foods and take time to live a life of balance. Once again, this leads to a feeling of being compromised and creates a negative effect on how we feel on a day to day basis.

I spend a lot of time demonstrating to employees of all levels how to take back responsibility for their wellbeing, make the right healthy living choices on a regular basis and reap the rewards of doing so every single day.

So imagine the success of organisations that helps staff to manage their time more effectively and also take control of how they manage their health, their wellbeing and their energy.

Many organisations we work with are doing all this and more and as a result are cosolidating their reputations as great places to work.

Make Office Wellbeing succeed during the recession Part 3

Continuing our series on ways to get your organisation through the recession, one of the most difficult arguments to make when trying to motivate staff with new health benefits is justifying the spend. 'Why can't you just pay us the money you're spending on this scheme instead' is a question you may hear. So how do you reply to that?

Wouldn’t staff just prefer extra cash at the end of the month?
The reason most businesses don’t simply offer more money is that extra pay can be a very short lived incentive while the right wellbeing initiatives provide staff with resources that generate personal benefits way beyond a few extra pounds each month. This is money well spent on building engagement, retention and loyalty as well as providing added value for employees.

Think long term and you'll be rewarded for it. Short term fixes are just that - short term and very quickly taken for granted.
