Health Promotion InitiativesMaintenance of Health and wellbeing at workWork-Life Health work with organisations to promote health and wellbeing at work and develop wellness cultures within organisations. Developing a positive culture makes sound business sense as healthy can affect organisational wellbeing, energy and performance/profit.
Wellness cultures inspire employees to maintain health and work to the best of their abilities, increasing the organisational performance and profitability. Benefits of a wellness culture include:
Well-Being RoadshowsWork-life Health gives advice and information on a range of health issues with a preventative focus. A holistic approach is used. And a number of associates and alternative practitioners and resources are available in line with the theme of the roadshow. Lunchtime 'drop in' or wellbeing clinicShort appointments are offered for staff to discuss a range of health issues on a ‘drop in’ or booked appointment basis. NutritionMaintaining a nutritious diet has many benefits such as boosting energy, performance and happiness, which can help maintain health and ultimately increase performance and reduce absences. ExerciseWork-Life health offer workshops, health promotion days, roadshows and a variety of classes can be arranged. SleepThe energy levels of employees in an organisation directly affect productivity and performance. On any day 1 in 5 individuals feel unusually fatigued. Fatigue may be a symptom of a wide range of physical and psychological problems. It can cause decreased concentration, inability to perform usual daily tasks and work-related accidents. It can also be a symptom of insomnia, anxiety and depression, and should be monitored so that problems can be addressed, and if possible avoided altogether. Work-Life Health offer a number of initiatives to help both the individual and the organisation with fatigue, stress and sleep-related problems. Examples are:
Voice AwarenessPeople who have to speak at work or in public depend on their voice. The voice is used to hold the attention of others, to be interesting and to create an impact. Speaking for long periods or large groups in large spaces can cause the voice to be strained. A strained voice has less impact on the listener and this may reduce the speaker’s effectiveness, ability and confidence. Studies carried out by the Voice Association Network ( VCN ) suggest that up to 34% of people with voice problems are teachers. A survey in 1992/3 suggested that one in ten long serving teachers might need clinical treatment for their voice at some time during their career. Call centre staff and other occupations that rely on clarity of voice for their profession are also prone to problems. Training for employees therefore makes good business sense. We offer voice awareness workshops. Men’s Health and Women’s HealthWork-Life Health offers Men’s Health and Women’s Health training sessions and road shows. |
