Organisational Wellbeing

Organisations are made up of people. People contribute to building strong, resilient, sustainable organisations. A healthy organisation is dependant on its employees being happy and healthy.

Organisational Wellbeing is a vital aspect of best practice solutions. Wellbeing intervention plans include staff development opportunities, stress management and health promotion. A wellbeing strategy is designed to move your organisation from illness to wellbeing enhancement. The benefit of investing in Wellbeing programs includes enhancing productivity, stronger performance, reducing absenteeism and improving morale.

Stress management and mindfulness workplace programs

contribute to a sustainable and healthy working environment. Relaxation and mindfulness training provide an opportunity for staff employees to learn techniques and behaviour that restore physical and mental balance. Employees can learn how to manage stress levels. Within the workplace there are various situations and events that can create either a negative or positive response. When a person experiences a negative response tension is created within the body and if the body is tense then mental tension will also be experienced.

Learning how to relieve tightness and tension is an incredibly helpful ability. There are various techniques that contribute to increased mental clarity and capacity. When an individual experiences a strong sense of wellbeing they can move confidently in the world, enjoying an alert and powerful mental state and feel relaxed and steady.

 

Employee Wellbeing

A healthy employee contributes more effectively and efficiently to any organisation. A growing and successful organisation depends on the health, vitality and energy of the people within it. Good health is high on everybody’s list of personal priorities.

“A healthy employee is a productive employee”

In a Gallup International Survey (2006) they asked "What matters most in Life?". Over 50 countries were surveyed and there were two values that stood out from the rest.

• Good Health,
• followed by Family Happiness

Happy employees are better equipped to handle workplace relationships, stress and change according to the latest Gallup Management Journal survey (2006). Companies that understand this and help employees improve their well-being can boost their productivity. "Businesses say healthy employees make for a healthy bottom line. Regular exercise is critical to preventing cardiovascular disease and lowering blood pressure as well as one of the keys to maintaining a healthy weight." The Business Review, March 19, 2004.

Within the workplace an employee needs to be able to handle a variety of situations and people. What impacts on the person's response to these situations comes back to their ability to have the capacity to stay grounded and keep a clear mind. Particularly in a challenging and stressful event, the employee who can remain calm and centred will be able to access wisdom and maintain a larger perspective of the situation at hand.
