There are multiple choices when it comes to an effective employee wellbeing programme, but are they achieving the desired results? Before implementing a wellbeing programme, there are a few things that should be considered, such as whether it fits what employees want and need, and the desired results of the programme.
There are several areas that could be assessed and coached when it comes to the overall health of any employee, including:
- Exercise/Activity
- Nutrition
- Time Management
- Stress
- Sleep
- Hydration
- Lifestyle
- Mental Health
Companies may run quarterly workshops on several of these areas, but they are unlikely to make a significant impact. This is due to a lack of follow up, ensuring everyone has implemented what has been learned during these sessions.
For anyone to improve their overall health, there is no quick fix. To form new healthy habits, long-term behaviour change is needed. This is where ongoing coaching is required for an employee to make a significant improvement in their overall health. There is so much conflicting information in magazines, television and online that can confuse and prevent people from leading a healthier life. Ongoing coaching allows employees to gain all the correct information about healthy living that they need for their body. Coaching also gives employees the support they need to implement and make a permanent change to their health and lifestyle. From a company point of view, improving the health of all employees is proven to help reduce sickness and increase productivity. Health insurance premiums can also be hugely reduced when these health improvements have been made.
