We are thrilled that our desktop well-being programme includes and exceeds many of the recommendations in the latest report from the Ministry of Health (MOH) into Workplace Health Promotion Programmes.
This is a great report and is an ideal place to start when you are looking to implement or evolve a workplace wellness programme in your organisation.
The Ministry of Health commissioned Nina Russell to conduct a literature review to:
- explore the rationale for why wellness should be promoted at work
- identify the benefits to both employers and employees
- investigate what is effective in a workplace health programme
The report confirms many of the known positive financial benefits of a healthy workforce, such as reduced abseeteeism, turnover and workplace accidents, and increased quality of work, engagement, recruitment and retention. But most importantly it also strongly supports the psychosocial benefits experienced by our own clients, such as positive moods, state happiness and reduced stress, that are inherent to our unique programme.
Our mission to make workplace wellness fun, simple, cost effective and beneficial (to both employers & employees) is again endorsed by the report as it identifies key issues associated with the effectiveness of workplace programmes. Our desktop/web based programme enables businesses to easily implement, communicate and authentically live a healthy culture on a daily basis without the need for additional staff, large costs or staff downtime.
