North East workplace wellbeing training and consultancy company, Key Wellbeing, launches a new initiative to make it easier for businesses to stay ahead of their employee wellbeing game.
Despite pandemic pressures easing, the Teesside firm is urging employers to keep workplace wellbeing strategies at the top of their priority list to avoid losing top talent.
Determined to help, the team is rolling out Wellbeing Weeks that will enable organisations to create a consistent wellbeing buzz throughout the year and to improve connection amongst fragmented teams.
From October, people managers across the UK will be able to treat their teams to regular Wellbeing Weeks consisting of five sessions covering the research-backed “5 Ways to Wellbeing” for employees to learn, move, chill, connect and give.
Workforces can expect to take part in remote and hybrid friendly sessions with a range of interactive activities from calming meditations to mood-boosting raves led by professionals in the wellbeing space.
They will also receive helpful tools, tips and resources to refer to, plus the option to add on fresh fruit deliveries to the office, thanks to partners of the initiative, Eatfruit.
Key Wellbeing’s Creative Director, Melissa Armstrong said: “The pandemic may be over but employee wellbeing must remain a priority, especially as more hybrid working models emerge.
Employees now know what they want and deserve in terms of wellbeing support and work-life balance and are seeking out companies that show an authentic concern for their individual wellbeing, leaving those that don’t behind – as we’ve seen from The Great Resignation.”
Marie Ranson, Commercial Director at Key Wellbeing adds: “Too often, leaders see wellbeing at work as a tick-box exercise and simply offer an ad-hoc ‘mental health awareness’ course, then wonder why their people are still burned out and stressed.
Employee wellbeing initiatives are a win win for everyone. Research suggests that for every £1 spend on employee wellbeing, organisations can expect a £5 return with savings realised through reduced absenteeism, improved retention and better engagement across the board.”
