What Can You Do?
More and more companies are investing in workplace wellness programs as a way to meet the challenges faced by their organisations. Research has shown that supporting the health and well being of employees has positive business outcomes such as improved employee performance and engagement.

What Everyone Else Is Saying
As a long-term practitioner in a number of organisations, I had identified the need to ensure the health and wellbeing of my team especially with the strong connection between the frontline staff and the impact on customer experience.At American Express we engaged with Wellness First International to deliver to our leadership team and our frontline staff a fundamental understanding of their holistic program.
The business was able to deliver a 10% reduction in sick leave and a 14% reduction in turnover. In addition, the NPS (Net Promoter Score) improved by some 34 basis points due to the ‘right people being in the right place at the right time, in a great frame of mind’.
I would recommend Wellness First International for their ability to translate their program inclusive of understanding the business drivers and as a retention tool and investment in your business”.

On joining BT Life Insurance I decided to run the ‘wellness first’ program across all operation teams with a strong focus on the contact centre staff given their high sick leave and reduced productivity. There were a number of reasons why we opted to run this particular course, including undertaking training for staff that was not necessarily work related, to give the staff the opportunity to experience new ways of thinking, reduce sick leave within the area as well as reduce costs by increasing productivity.The feedback from all the attendees was extremely positive with staff adopting many of the initiatives.
As a result of the program we were able to track sick leave reduction from an average of 10.5 days per annum to 7.1 to 7.6 days per annum, and in line with the productivity target we achieved an increase in output of 13 per cent.
I highly recommend this program for all staff at all levels.”
