Why is the Implementation of a Corporate Wellness Strategy Important as we Enter 2023?

As we begin the new year, it is more important than ever for businesses to prioritise the wellbeing of their employees. A comprehensive corporate wellness strategy can have numerous benefits for both the company and its employees, including increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and improved overall job satisfaction.

Supporting Employee Mental Health

One key aspect of a corporate wellness strategy is supporting employee mental health. In the past few years, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented levels of stress and anxiety for many people, and it is important for companies to provide resources and support for employees who may be struggling. This could include offering access to mental health services, such as therapy or counselling, as well as providing resources for stress management and self-care. All of this you are able to do through our HealthNav app which has a coaching function meaning you can book 1-1 sessions with qualified therapists, nutritionists, financial advisors and many more. All meetings are also completely confidential.

Wellbeing Technology

This moves us on to the use of wellbeing technology. There are a wide variety of tools and apps available that can help employees track and improve their physical and mental health, however, the benefit of HealthNav is, everything is in one convenient health hub. For example, HealthNav fitness tracker can help employees set and achieve fitness goals, while our meditation videos can provide much-needed stress relief. Providing access to a variety of evidence-based practical tools and techniques can help employees take an active role in their own wellbeing, and can also be a cost-effective way for companies to support employee health and happiness. 

Employee Wellbeing Programmes

Finally, implementing employee wellbeing programmes can also be a valuable component of a corporate wellness strategy. These programmes can take many forms, from offering healthy food options in the office to providing opportunities for employees to participate in physical activities or stress-reducing activities such as yoga or mindfulness classes. By investing in the overall wellbeing of employees, companies can create a positive and supportive work environment that promotes health and happiness.
