What corporate wellness initiatives can do for your organisation…
Corporate wellness initiatives are the perfect way to encourage healthy habits within employees. These initiatives focus on preventative action that an organisation can provide through employer sponsored events such as wellness activities or exercise programs.
Sometimes known as workplace wellbeing, corporate wellness is defined by how a worker feels about themselves and their work. It focuses on improving individual health to achieve organisational wellbeing and aims to ensure workers are safe, satisfied, and engaged.
In the past 5 years, a huge surge in demand for these types of services has been found due to the broad list of benefits they bring. Organisations who have introduced such initiatives in their workplace have found an abundance of perks, most notably including improved employee engagement, productivity, reduced turnover, and overall job satisfaction.
Likewise, employees have also begun to appreciate the importance of such initiatives in creating positive work environments. An extensive survey by McCrindle assessing over 1,000 Australian workers on their workplace wellbeing identified corporate wellness programs as forefront in 74% of workers’ minds. In fact, two in five Australians actively view employee wellbeing programs as important when job searching.
This growing priority has only become more prevalent since the pandemic, where employees are wanting to ensure they feel supported by their business. So much so, that up to 85% of surveyed workers believe that employers should create an environment that proactively addresses stress in the workplace.
Here at Healthy Workplaces, we specialise in promoting positive health and wellbeing for workers both in, and out, of the office. Our corporate wellness initiatives, Step Forward and Tour de Office, boast a diverse range of benefits to cater for your organisation’s needs and goals. The exercise-focused activities encourage participants to reconnect with their colleagues over some healthy competition, all while reducing sedentary tendencies common within workplaces.
