THRIVE: Purpose, Passion, Performance Reflective guide

Creating a better wellbeing culture at work involves organisations mindfully and purposefully encouraging an environment that promotes physical, psychological, and emotional health. We offer the ideas below to stimulate your thinking: Promote physical health • Offer benefits that encourage physical activity such as gym memberships or cycle schemes. • Provide health and wellness activities like lunchtime yoga classes or walking clubs. • Offer nutritionally complete un/low processed, low-sugar foods at company catering outlets and conferences. • Encourage people to get up and move after they’ve been sitting for over 30 minutes. • Consider how the working environment can be adapted to encourage people to move more; think about where desks and printers are placed, whether sit-stand desks can be offered, initiate walking meetings and encourage active breaks. Support psychological health • Offer mental health resources such as counselling services, stress management workshops, and mindfulness programmes. • Offer mindfulness and meditation apps such as Headspace or Calm as an employee benefit. • Provide information about Employee Assistance Programs (EAP). Encourage balance • Implement and champion policies that support flexible working hours, remote work options, and regular breaks • Focus on outputs and measure them in a way that is balanced and fair, helping team members to focus their energy on creating value for the business. • All ow flexibility in where and when team members work. • All ow team members to adjust their schedules to better fit their personal lives with flexible hours. • Encourage employees to strategically take regular breaks from screens, and to use their annual leave to rest and recharge .
