One Easy Way to Inspire Staff towards Great Wellbeing Results

We ran a series of workshops for one of our clients yesterday and we received great feedback, including this email from one participant, which arrived this morning.  

The feedback...

'Thank you for the group workshop yesterday - I found it inspiring and a good reminder of the importance of healthy habits. I have already begun making some changes this morning, so lets see if I notice a difference!  Looking forward to receiving a copy of your slides - the general feeling was that we were keen to hear more! :)'

So, if you'd like a cost-effective and time-efficient way to inspire staff towards great wellbeing results, these 30-minute small group workshops are a great solution.

The workshop description...

Fast-Track Wellbeing Results with Senior Management Buy-In

When wellbeing messages are trumpeted from the top of an organisation, the effect of positive role models, consistent communication and enthusiastic support is invaluable in helping people throughout the business understand how their individual, personal health and wellbeing is important, valued and a priority.

Take some recent feedback below that we received following one of our wellbeing workshops.  With this positive attitude driving the organisation forward, it's easy to see how a wide audience can be engaged, motivated and inspired to get involved.  

Indeed, these sentiments are a major part of creating the culture that many businesses strive for which is one where people welcome the opportunities offered to them by their company to take better care of themselves, resulting in enthusiastic opting in to a variety of initiatives.  People in these organisations actively want to get involved rather than feeling as though they should get involved.

The best wellbeing programmes should always be much more about the carrot than the stick which is why it's great for us to hear comments like this...

'Thank you again for your very informative Health, Wellness and Personal Performance presentation last week for our 60+ members of staff. 

It's extremely important in our high-paced, energetic working environment to maintain a healthy work / life balance and understand how the type of work we do (with the traveling, late nights and international expectations) can effect our overall wellbeing. 

Everyone on the team has made 3 commitments that they are working towards over the next few weeks, with the goal of integrating these new practices into their long-term routines - I hear people chatting about their commitments in the kitchen or commenting on their lunch choice for the day in relation to their goals. 

Clearly, the points raised in your presentation really have stuck with everyone and we look forward to your follow up in a few weeks time. We'd like to have you back to share this presentation with the other areas of the business as well.'
