What is corporate wellness?
Corporate wellness has become a ubiquitous term within industry and its meaning has become somewhat diluted. Essentially, the phrase relates to the wellbeing of your employees physically and mentally. There are hundreds if not thousands of businesses in the corporate wellness field all focusing on different aspects. The most common are challenges to engage your workforce whether that be a step challenge or something else. There are also training days that can educate on workplace improvements or even life advice. Finally, there is what we offer, which is a software focused on improving the physical and mental health of your employees.
What are the benefits of corporate wellness?
As with anything, the benefits rely on the type of service and how effective the company doing it is. Health related programs (like ours) boast statistics like absenteeism reduced by 80%, sleep improving by 75% and an hours work gained due to increased productivity each week. Training days provide valuable insights on all topics which can be invaluable for your workforce’s continued professional development. They can improve employee satisfaction, reduce staff turnover, and create incentives for prospective workers. Companies like Apple and Microsoft even have meditation pods in their offices because they understand the variety of benefits that employee focused wellness has. There is also a host of business related benefits. Businesses see improved revenue, productivity, reduced absenteeism, a more loyal workforce, and a more creative workforce. The health of a business relies on the health of its employees.
Is corporate wellness expensive?
Effective programs do not have to be expensive. In fact, our service starts at just £2.50 per person, per month. Which if you consider the extra £3000 annually per employee in improved productivity and problem solving, is a bargain (here). Training days and challenges are also very cost effective, especially when you remember one important benefit of corporate wellness is a ROI.
