Wellbeing in the Workplace

The environment and conditions of a workplace can have a huge impact on employees, including their mental health and overall wellbeing. This therefore will significantly impact how well they perform at their job which is why incorporating wellbeing in the workplace is so important. Statistics show that 1 in 6.8 people experience mental health issues within the workplace and it’s estimated that impaired work efficiency due to mental ill health costs UK employers over £15 billion every year, compared to the estimated £8.4 billion from absenteeism. It is therefore vital that wellbeing in the workplace is a priority among businesses and corporate wellbeing activities are carried out to not only improve the mental health of employees but also the success of the business.

3. Breathwork

Breathwork is a wellbeing practice that is becoming increasingly popular, due to its effectiveness in reducing stress and sustaining greater emotional wellbeing. Due to engaging the parasympathetic nervous system, breathwork consists of a series of breathing exercises that help calm the body and the mind to think more rationally. Holding breathwork sessions in the workplace can therefore be very beneficial for employees! With our Sonic Breath Experience, employees will feel rejuvenated and ready to take on the rest of their day, all without leaving the office.

4. Flexible Working

Providing flexible working options for your employees is an effective way to improve corporate wellbeing in the office this year. Whether it is flexible work hours, remote or hybrid working from home, giving employees the opportunity to be flexible with their work and other life commitments has been proven to improve overall wellbeing, a better workplace culture and improved job satisfaction.

5. Nutrition Workshops

Nutrition is a key pillar of health, both mental and physical. Why not help your employees make the right choices for fuelling themselves for success in the workplace with a nutrition workshop or masterclass held in the office? Give your team the life-changing knowledge that will help optimise their nutrient for peak performance and cognitive function with our Nutrition Masterclass or our Immersive Gut Health Workshop.

6. Art & Crafts Workshops

Why not encourage employees to express themselves and explore their creative sides with an arts and crafts workshop? These could be collaborative art projects to promote team bonding or individual experiences to promote stepping away from the desk and practising mindfulness. From floristry masterclasses and calligraphy workshops to candle making and life drawing.

7. Themed Wellbeing Months or Days

If you’re really looking to improve corporate wellbeing in 2024, then why not introduce dedicated themed wellbeing months throughout the year? For instance, ‘Fitness February’ with a focus on movement or ‘Wellbeing Wednesdays’ in which you have an expert come to your office to hold a wellbeing activity for the team.

8. Volunteering Days

Giving back to the local community can give your employees a real sense of purpose that expands outside of their jobs.
