A surprising report by the Workforce Institute and Coleman Parkes Research found that only 34% of employees rated engagement as strong in their organisations. With this lack of engagement costing UK businesses up to 60 billion pounds annually, it is critical that organisations treat employee engagement as a top priority in achieving and maintaining success.
While compensation remains consistently low on the list of reasons why an employee would leave their job (ranking 9th out of 11 in the Workforce Institute and Coleman Parkes Research report), organisational health and wellness programmes are on the rise. This means that businesses need to think creatively beyond pay. Fortunately, the comprehensive Wellspace health and wellness solution offers various compelling built-in ways to engage your employees.
Timely and relevant workshops
Demonstrate an investment in your employees’ health by encouraging them to participate in the several informative Wellspace workshops scheduled throughout the year. Subject matter is carefully sourced on topics that are important to them, including fitness, nutrition, mental health, female health, and many more. Each workshop is based on the four pillars of health and wellbeing, measuring physical activity, sleep, mental health, and nutrition.
Intuitive online demos
The most advanced software in the world is useless if people don’t know how to use it. While the Wellspace software is intuitive, we have also focused on developing clear instructional demos to ensure everyone is comfortable in understanding how to best leverage it. Even better, these online demos can be accessed anytime, anywhere, meaning that help is never more than a click away.
Meaningful rewards
Recognition consistently tops employee lists of non-salary related benefits that are most coveted in the workplace. We understand that at Wellspace, so have developed an extensive rewards programme with favourite brand partners to incent employees to maximise their use of the online portal, app and training workshop sessions. And because reward levels increase with engagement levels, employees are motivated to adopt full utilisation of the wellness programme.
Dedicated health champions
Trust and relationships are important, and we understand that. That’s why we’ve created the ability for you to designate dedicated office health champions through the Wellspace software. These point people will help lead the health and wellness charge for your business. Along with promoting usage of the portal and app, these point people will also act as office resources for questions, assistance, or to explain the benefits of the programme.
Incorporated engagement leaderboards
What fun is a health and wellness programme without a little friendly competition? Wellspace provides flexible engagement leaderboards for competition between teams or departments. Come up with the competition and a valued prize (one idea is an extra annual leave day for the employee with the highest monthly engagement level), and let the games begin!
Engaged team members are productive team members, and at Wellspace it is our mission to revolutionise employee health and wellness in the workplace. With your partnership, we can together increase health, happiness, and engagement levels of your most valued asset – your employees.
