Wellbeing Strategy
Creating an organisational wellness plan tailored for your people, budget and goal
Workplaces can be stressful environments for various reasons. And while most people work in an industry they love, they can still experience high levels of stress and burnout. As an employer, you don’t want that to happen.
At Workplace wellbeing we take an integrated approach to the mental health and wellness of your employees. It helps your staff thrive through achieving overall health in all areas of their life.
But how is this relevant to your organisation? Because having a wellbeing strategy at your organisation provides huge benefits. Not only does it benefit your workers, but it benefits your organisation. Let’s see why. And then we’ll talk about how.
Why do you need a workplace wellbeing plan?
If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that burnout is real. Many employees and employers have experienced burnout thanks to the pandemic itself.
But whilst we can never cut stress completely out of our lives, we can change how we manage it.
Implementing a workplace wellbeing plan can:
Help improve your employee’s overall health and gain mental clarity
Change employee’s old thinking patterns and negative emotions
Minimise employee burnout in your organisation
Minimise workers’ compensation claims based on stress-related issues
Reduce staff turnover, meaning you don’t have the added cost of finding and training new employees
Reduce cynicism and remove the “us versus them” mentality
Save you a lot of time and money
Create initatives that are both interesting and engaging
And that’s where our individualised wellbeing programs fit in.
Our process
Our signature program is organisation-wide. It provides each and every one of your people the opportunity to develop their own wellbeing plan for the next one to three months.
We’ve broken our process down into three different sessions. This helps your employees to develop healthy long-lasting habits.
Sesion 1
Session 2
Session 3
Right from the outset, we start tiny. Yes, we said tiny.
This session is all about creating tiny habits. Tiny habits that support what wellbeing means to every single employee.
And while they might be tiny habits, they’re also sustainable, healthy ones. Every single employee that attends will learn how to establish:
- three sustainable tiny habits for the first week
- a further three tiny habits for the following week
Do I hear you asking ‘why baby steps?’ Here’s why:
- Because we’ve all seen big bang commitments that fail (remember last New Years’ Eve?)
- Because we know that small incremental changes are more likely to succeed than attempting big shifts
- Because we want to give your people the taste of success
- Because this helps everyone create and develop wellness habits that will last a lifetime.
Tiny steps are more likely to stick long-term than trying to take a huge leap. Just ask our previous participants.
Our second session starts seven to 10 days after the tiny habits session. Why? Because it lets your employees get into the habit of creating healthy habits.
And now it’s time for your employees to zoom out and look at the broader picture. During this, we’ll explore the following issues:
- What does wellbeing mean for you? What about happiness? There’s no wrong answer here. It’s different for everyone
- What does the science have to say?
- What is PERMAH? And who the heck cares? Hint: this is all about positive psychology
- What about financial security? Does wellbeing cost a lot?
We all wear many different hats in our life. Father, mother, daughter, sibling, boss, colleague. And the list goes on. But it’s still possible to build balanced wellbeing while wearing so many hats. And this session teaches you and your employees how.
About one month after session 2, we’ll catch up for session 3. This is all about follow-up and allows us to see how your employees are fairing with their wellbeing.
We all get off track and lose our initial enthusiasm.
The purpose of this session is to help embed the program into your employee’s everyday life. It helps them refresh and revitalise their personal wellbeing goals. And it ensures that each individual has an actionable plan that they can actually use.
After all, we don’t want to pop into your lives with our wellbeing programs without them having a long-lasting effect. Sustainable healthy habits without heaps of effort. That’s what we all want.
Our programs can form the backbone of a broader wellbeing plan in your organisation. And that’s what we’d like to see: your employees setting up wellbeing for life.
