Overview

Emerging evidence indicates the implementation of health and wellbeing programs provide an excellent return on investment with one study identifying the economic return of worksite health promotion programs, finding on average programs:

Decrease sick leave absenteeism by 25.3%

Decrease workers compensation costs by 40.7%

Decrease disability management costs by 24.2%

Save $5.81 for every $1 invested in employee health and wellbeingⁱ

We employ a range of experienced Workplace Health and Wellness Professionals who are passionate about developing tailored, targeted and meaningful workplace health and wellness programs to improve and protect the health of a workforce.

Recent research into this field has revealed that workplace health promotion is positively impacting the bottom line, showing it’s more cost-effective to invest in preventative health practices such as screenings, immunisations, fitness tests and health education, rather than spending resources exclusively on the small minority of employees who require post-illness or injury treatment. Global research also concluded that when employee health and wellness is managed well, the percentage of engaged employees increases from 7% to 55% and self-reported creativity and innovation increases from 20% to 72%ⁱ.

How It Works

Designing a wellness program for your workplace:

Need Analysis:

We find most companies have already identified an issue or work related injury/illness they would like to address when it comes to workplace health and wellness initiatives in their workplace. It is important to be clear what goals and outcomes you would like to achieve by implementing a workplace wellness program in your organisation as this will help to set the scope for the program.

Program Design and Development:

Our dedicated team of professionals will work with you to develop a tailored program of services, to meet the needs of your business and workforce and achieve your workplace wellness goals.

Program delivery is designed to complement your business needs and may take the form of training and education, regular assessments, health promotion or workplace challenges. Our flexible range of services can be delivered face to face, via online learning or webinar.

Review the below programs to see which programs may suit your organisation’s needs.

Workplace Health and Wellness Programs we provide include:

Health Assessments

To ensure your workforce is maintaining and improving their health and wellbeing, we provide Workplace Health and Wellness Assessments to capture important information over a period of time such as blood pressure, body measurements, cholesterol, resting heart rate and blood glucose levels. Comprehensive assessments delve further into contributing factors through lifestyle questionnaires and fitness assessments.

At your request, we can further customise your assessments, and fitness testing.

Using this information, we can develop tailored Health and Wellness Programs to manage and improve upon results.

Fitness Classes and Programs

With a focus on education, these programs are specially designed to provide workers with the tools and information to keep fit at work. Our Fitness Programs can provide one-off education material or span over a set period of time to measure progress and improvement. We also offer a range of group exercise classes and individual customised programs promoting physical activity in a non-intimidating way.

Health Coaching Programs

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be challenging, with increased work and life demands, shift work, prolonged sitting at a desk or working on-site where access to healthy food and exercise can be limited. Our Health Coaching Programs are a one-on-one personalised service built on a cycle of assessments, goal setting, and lifestyle changes (including nutrition planning, exercise planning, mental wellbeing strategies), motivation and support, monitoring progress and reassessment.

Mental Wellbeing Programs

Creating a mentally healthy workplace is beneficial to everyone. It promotes a positive workplace culture, minimises workplace risks related to mental wellbeing and supports people with mental health conditions. Our Mental Wellbeing Programs provide tools, resources and activities to help educate, support, prevent and manage mental wellbeing in the workplace.

These Programs can be developed to suit the unique environment of a workplace, run as singular modules or run as long-term health promotion calendar.

Workplace Challenges

Workplace challenges are a great way to improve employee morale, encourage teamwork and create a happy and healthy workplace culture. Our Workplace Challenges are designed to focus on increasing education and awareness, fitness, nutrition, mental wellbeing and motivation and support, with an all-important touch of friendly competitive spirit.

Health Fairs
