Workplace Wellness and Stress Management Program

Workplace Wellness and Stress Management Program

Managing energy and state to increase performance and happiness

A company’s success depends greatly on its employees: their health, contentment and performance.

To quote Richard Branson:
“Take care of your employees and they’ll take care of your business”.

Healthy, contented employees are:

  • more productive
  • more loyal
  • less likely to take leave and sick days

Stress, however, drastically undermines the performance of your team and employees.

Stress has been proven to create high blood pressure, fatigue, weight issues and diabetes, all of which lower energy levels and therefore productivity.

A culture of wellbeing can dramatically benefit the whole organisation. With the right program and cultural shift, employees can be empowered to improve and maintain their own health and wellbeing.

Taking a holistic approach is achievable with the right system, using researched methods to create sustainable change.

Healthy Employees = Healthy Business

The ROI on a successful health and wellbeing program in the workplace is hard to ignore.

  • Every dollar invested in workplace health and wellness has been shown to bring a return of $3-$6 (Sax Institute, 2008)
  • Effective programs can reduce absenteeism by 25%, and decrease worker’s compensation costs by 41%, representing a $5.81 saving for every $1 invested (HAPIA, 2010)
  • Productivity can be increased by up to 15% (AIHW, 2010)
  • Employee engagement is 5 times more likely in organisations with a focus on wellbeing (AIHW, 2010)

Proven benefits of Workplace Health and Wellness Programs

  • Greater employee trust and loyalty, by fostering a sense of community and belonging
  • Improved morale, resilience and engagement
  • Better focus and concentration, and therefore significantly improved performance
