Workplace Wellbeing Consultancy

In recent years, more than ever, workplaces are acknowledging the importance of workplace wellbeing. We know that staff work their best, productivity is increased and staff are engaged when organisations prioritise staff holistically - this includes wellbeing at work - and we don’t mean a yoga class and fruit bowl once a year. But meaningful, evidenced-backed programs that truly support staff.

This is our bread and butter, workplace wellbeing, and this is where engaging with a workplace wellbeing consultancy comes in.

Workplace Wellbeing Consultant

You might be thinking what is a workplace wellbeing consultant? We already have HR. But a workplace wellbeing consultant is someone who works with organisations to improve the health and wellbeing of their employees. They provide advice, guidance, and practical solutions that can help employees to lead healthier and more balanced lives - we can’t perform if we’re out of balance!

What does this look like in practice? This could look like policy development, assessing and minimising the risk of psychosocial injuries, providing consultancy to HR or WHS staff, implementing workplace wellbeing programs and providing mental health training such as suicide prevention/postvention, Employee Assistance Programs and Mental Health First Aid.

Workplace Wellbeing Consultancy Programs

1. Health and Wellness Programs

One of the key ways in which a workplace wellbeing consultant can help your company is by designing and implementing health and wellbeing programs. These programs might include things like healthy initiatives, exercise classes, mindfulness-based stress reduction programs and mental health support (Employee Assistance Programs).

2. Work-Life Balance

Another important aspect of workplace wellbeing is work-life balance, and understanding and implementing boundaries and self-care routines form a major part of this. This could look like the development of policies and practices that encourage employees to find a healthy balance between work and their personal lives. This might include flexible working arrangements, time off for personal or family needs, and other initiatives that help employees to manage their workloads without sacrificing their personal lives. Additionally, delivering a workshop on Boundaries can aid employees in taking charge of their wellbeing by creating healthy professional boundaries.

3. Mental Health Support

Mental health is a critical aspect of wellbeing in general, and a workplace wellbeing consultant can help your company to provide the support that employees need. This might include training for managers on how to recognise signs and symptoms, and having a mental health converstion, access to counselling and other mental health services, and initiatives that promote mental wellbeing. Wellbeing Campus have experienced staff who have tertiary qualifications in psychology and social work, we provide advice which is evidenced based.

4. Physical Environment

The physical environment of the workplace can have a significant impact on employee wellbeing. A workplace wellbeing consultant can help your company to identify ways to improve the physical environment, such as improving lighting, reducing noise levels, and creating spaces for relaxation and socialising.

5. Employee Engagement

Finally, a workplace wellbeing consultant can help your company to engage employees in the process of improving workplace wellbeing. This might include surveys and other feedback mechanisms that allow employees to provide input on workplace policies and initiatives, as well as programs that recognise and reward employees for their contributions to workplace wellbeing.

Yes, we’re biased, but we firmly believe that investing in a Workplace Wellbeing Consultant will provide you with improved staff satisfaction and increased productivity. Contacy us today.
