Workplace Benefits

The business world today demands long hours and creates endless pressures on people.

We believe that there is a direct link between healthier and happier employees and a more loyal, committed and productive workforce.
Benefits for the employer include reduced down times, absenteeism and turnover costs and increased morale. Employees are more likely to show a greater willingness to accept change and embrace new challenges and demonstrate improved clarity of thinking and decision making.

A Wellness approach also adds value to existing Occupational Safety and Health initiatives. Pressure, tension and poor health can lead to sickness, accidents and low productivity.

Empowering your employees with an awareness of how to identify and deal with symptoms of pressure before they become critical is as important as steel capped boots, ergonomic chairs, safety glasses or fire extinguishers in the workplace. Finally, employees are the public face of an organisation. They mirror the state of your business. Is the image they project one of tired, stressed, or depressed personnel, or is it one of people who are well and happy to be working for your organisation? Which lasting image do you want your customers to see?

"After years of increasing overtime and overwork, business managers have started to reassess their lives according to a new survey.
Management´s number one concern is no longer team–building or organizational change — it is the balance between their work and home lives, according to the more than 500 Australian and New Zealand managers surveyed by Mt Eliza Business School."

Testimonial

"As a business manager, I gained enormous benefit from attending the Working With Wellness Rebalancing Work/Life program.
In my contract work position, I have observed the longer-term benefits of other colleagues who have also completed this programme. They are generally happier & integrate better with other employees & management. Also I have noticed an improved ability of staff to better cope with pressures & the inevitable stressful situations.
Personally, I learnt valuable skills to assist in many aspects of my work and life including communication, perceptions, attitude, health, & general wellbeing. I continue to use the tools I gained in this course on a daily basis & have no hesitation in recommending it, to my clients & associates."
