One of the number one factors that effects employees’ productivity in the workplace is their wellbeing. A healthy employee, is a happy employee; and a happy employee is a productive one!

• What are businesses hoping to achieve with wellness programs?
• 90% want to improve the health and wellbeing of employees
• 51% want to enhance workforce productivity
• 40% want to improve teamwork and morale

If your employees’ jobs involve them spending long hours sat behind a desk, then it could begin to wreak havoc with their health.

Promoting regular breaks away from desks for exercise can…. 

• improve concentration and focus
• develop a sharper memory
• boost creativity
• prolong mental stamina

Employee Perception of Wellness programs

Employees who participate in wellness programs perceive themselves as

• healthier
• more productive
• more positive

And are more likely to stay with their employer and refer someone to their company

79% of employee wellbeing participants are extremely satisfied with their wellness program

Of those that don’t participate 69% said they simply weren’t aware their workplace had a wellness program

Why not introduce…

• Standing desks
• Onsite Exercise classes
• Cycle to work schemes
• Free healthy snacks
• Walking meetings

We strongly believe in the unique culture and nature of each company. Our main reason for establishing Gibson Hollyhomes is because we believe recruitment has moved away from a tailored service into a mass “one approach fits all”. Through our vast experience, we deliver a professional and consistent service to clients and candidates alike.
