Corporate Health and Wellbeing

If, like most contemporary companies, you have a genuine interest in the health and wellbeing of your staff you may have already considered some options, perhaps you have installed bicycle racks at work, or have paid for gym memberships, massage, or brought in annual blood pressure checks or flu immunisations, but have found this is merely lip service to the bigger problem of unhealthy, overweight and even obese staff.

Take a look at findings below from a study on Healthy vs Unhealthy Workers in Australia.

Research conducted by Medibank Private (2005) The Health of Australian’s Workforce, p9. 

Imagine if you could tap into a program that will have the office buzzing with excitement, full of energy, less absenteeism and leaps in motivation and creativity, plus team spirit soaring through the roof? Good news, you can! It’s up to You runs corporate workshops to take a practical look at the physical health of your employees – often this is a disappointing eye-opener. If you asked your staff to rank themselves from strongest to weakest in just four key areas – intelligence, physical, emotional and relationship strengths. What would be the split for your workplace? Would you have a high percentage of your employees ranking themselves as strongest in physical, or, like most workplaces we have seen, do you have wonderful staff, but are they, well … on the unfit side of the quadrant?

How do you know your staff are seeking and searching for an improvement to their physical strength and fitness?  Because your lunch room has more Weight Loss Program Shake bottles in it than glasses, that’s how. We are not new age gurus, we are all from the corporate sector, and we have a presentation that will knock your business socks off.

In one day your staff and executive team will be brought up to speed on how bad the obesity and health crisis is in Australia and New Zealand. We will take the rose-coloured glasses off and take a blunt look at the typical health standards of your business – don’t worry it’s not personal, in fact you will find that your business is not unique, right across Australia and NZ we have found employees struggling to do their jobs due to poor food choices. You don’t need to start the day with three hits of caffeine, nor do you need a 3 o’clock sugar hit, but the problem has got so bad, that people DON’T KNOW what they should be doing – that’s where we can help.

Once we are all on the same page as to how bad the problem really is, we will show you how to move the microwave out of the staff kitchen and install a blender, putting together a strategy to make some profound improvements to workplace health and wellness. We teach your staff quick and easy things to commence immediately, these small changes have been proven to have a huge impact on not only weight but energy, enthusiasm and team spirit. Some of your staff will want to embrace the entire program’s concepts, but all will find it easy to commit to the simple introductory steps to take to better health and wellbeing at work (and at home, and when travelling and for special events!).

It’s actually FUN (you do remember FUN don’t you?). Our strategies will have a far greater reach than just simply paying for an employee to attend (or not) a weekly yoga class. Employees will take this knowledge home to their families and before you know it; your company has participated in a health revolution, one person at a time! Imagine healthy and happy staff, coming to work each day from healthy and happy homes. Now imagine that your company actually has had a role in making this a reality!
