Strategies to Improve Employee Health & Wellbeing in 2022

The beginning of the New Year is a good time to support your staff with their health and wellbeing goals. After all, good health and wellbeing go hand in hand with productivity. Companies who support their employee’s health and wellbeing help to reduce absenteeism and create a positive workplace culture. Here are some ways to encourage employees to participate in your health and wellbeing initiatives:  

Company Challenges

Company challenges and group activities have many benefits. They help staff to get to know one another even when they are encouraged to stay apart.  Examples include a team ‘step challenge’ or a healthy ‘recipe challenge’. These are simple, effective ways to boost employee morale, develop relationships and build team spirit. Challenges also help embrace natural competitiveness, which adds excitement to help beat the January blues. Employees can be rewarded for their participation with a choice of gifts, including health and wellbeing options on a customised rewards portal. A gift can give your health and wellbeing initiative the boost it needs to engage employees.  

Outdoor Gifts for Employees

We are all well-aware of the health benefits of getting outdoors: fresh air, Vitamin D, exercise, and clearer head space. Being outdoors also means being safer. So, it makes sense for organisations to help to build a healthier workforce by supporting outdoor pursuits. Being prepared and having the right equipment encourages people to get outdoors.   

Employee Wellness Packs

A simple way to encourage health and wellbeing is by sending employees a tailored care pack. Tailored packs can include promotional products branded with your logo, such as drinks bottles and lunch bags and other goodies. Our bespoke relaxation is the perfect way to encourage staff to relax and unwind. It’s good to remember that looking after our health and wellbeing doesn’t always mean we have to be flying around. Sometimes we need to be supported in creating the time and space to sit back and relax.
