Employee wellbeing is an ever-growing priority in our fast-paced, digitized and performance-driven work environment. Organizations have recognized that healthy employees are more motivated, happier and more balanced, work more productively and efficiently
and thus have a positive effect on the company’s success.
Despite COVID and economic setbacks, many industries are therefore investing in the expansion of well-being and mental health offerings for their employees. The incentives are diverse:
From gym memberships
healthy food options
to emotional support through coaching, burnout prevention and stress management.
Investments in your employees’ wellbeing and mental health is where calmbase comes in. The focus of our certified experts and coaches we select is on holistic wellbeing, mindfulness and dealing with stress.
CORPORATE WELLBEING
What is corporate wellbeing?
Corporate wellbeing describes health & stress prevention incentives in the workplace. The intention is to promote physical, emotional and mental wellbeing through targeted measures and to establish healthy (work) behavior among employees.
In contrast to corporate health management, corporate wellbeing focuses on individual, wide-ranging methods and offerings that stand out from the dry seminars and unpopular workshops with poor attendance rates. Areas such as spiritual wellness, mindfulness and mental strength are becoming more and more popular. Corporate wellbeing usually does not take place within the 4 walls of the organization, because wellbeing extends beyond the workplace. The offerings are symptom-based concepts that have a lasting effect on the health, motivations and happiness of the participants.
Why is corporate wellbeing so important?
It’s quite simple: if you have healthy, motivated and happy employees, you can count on commitment, productivity and a high level of loyalty and performance.
Corporate wellbeing offerings, such as company retreats that cover the physical, mental, emotional and social levels, increase the individual wellbeing of participants. Employees identify better with the corporate culture, work more innovatively, create better products and thus increase sales and, not to forget, their personal quality of life and purpose. At the same time, sick days and absenteeism are reduced, fewer mistakes are made, and the risks of burnout and stress are significantly lowered.
What can I do for my employees as an organization?
Establishing corporate wellbeing in a company does not always require huge expenses. Starting with flexible working hours and encouraging breaks and physical activities, quiet break rooms, standing desks and fruit bowls… starting with small changes can have significant effects.
For lasting results, it is a good idea to implement multi-day events or company retreats. These can teach targeted methods of stress prevention using mindfulness, meditation and more, which can positively change the corporate culture and permanently improve the wellbeing of employees.
