Corporate Wellness Programs

 

Benefits of Providing Corporate Fitness and Wellbeing

In today’s competitive and demanding business environment, employee wellness is no longer a luxury extra – it’s a necessity.  The number one reason for absence from work is reduced mental wellbeing and stress.  A large percentage of people feel stressed at work and most feel they need help in managing their stress levels and mental wellbeing.   It has been widely proven that employees are at their most productive when they are fit and healthy, have low stress levels and more importantly feel that their employer cares about their wellbeing.

 

Providing an in-house Corporate Fitness Program is one of the best ways in which your company can increase your employees’ overall wellbeing.

 

Increasing Wellbeing

Dangerous stress levels in conjunction with our increasingly sedentary lifestyles leads to illness such as back pain, depression, migraine and cardiovascular disease which lose companies thousands of man hours every year.

 

Exercise has been proven to be the most effective method of improving mental wellbeing and helping to reduce the onset of stress-related illnesses.   Holistic wellbeing therapies such as Yoga and Pilates are also proven to elevate mental wellbeing, promote flexibility and relaxation and even boost immunity keeping employees healthy, happy and balanced.

 

Providing corporate fitness and wellbeing facilities is an investment in both your employees’ healthy and your company’s future.
