At Infinite Wellbeing we understand that "time is money".

Therefore after the initial launch to staff there will be private one-to-one sessions of information gathering and goal setting. This will enable us to develop an achievable personal plan that is completely bespoke to that person's needs. Progress will be reviewed at agreed points, typically at 6 weekly intervals.

During this time the individual will be able to see their progress in their wellness den account, attend agreed group workshops whilst also having on-going contact with Infinite Wellbeing coaches for advice, inspiration and motivation.

We hope that for many people activity will increase outside work also. Health, fitness and nutritional plans will involve personal, private commitment.

The cost of poor employee health and wellbeing to UK businesses is significant and a key report* highlighted the following annual losses:  131 million working days, equating to 4.4 days per worker.

This includes:
31 million days due to musculoskeletal pain • 27 million days due to minor illnesses • 16 million days due to stress, anxiety, depression and serious mental health issues • 5 million days due to heart, blood pressure and circulation problems • Mental illnesses alone cost UK employers around £26 billion a year, according to the centre for mental health**

Infinite Wellbeing work with organisations to identify and support those key areas of concern through our bespoke wellness programmes to help reduce these costs to the business. The cost of doing nothing is very apparent.

*The ONS sickness absence in the Labour market report 2014.
**Mental health at work: developing the business case.

In addition to the potential to reduce absence rates and, therefore, costs to the business, there are wider benefits to be gained through good employee wellbeing.

Studies show that there is strong evidence of the positive association between good wellbeing and improved morale, motivation and productivity.

Encouraging employees to achieve good health through physical activity, healthy eating, and good sleep are some of the positive steps that add benefit.

In addition seeking ways to enhance career and financial wellbeing can make significant contributions toward a more inspired and motivated workforce.

The overall wellness programme timescale will be dependant upon the business needs and at Infinite Wellbeing we recommend that typically it will include the following after we have been formally engaged:

Wellness programme concept introduction to employees Complete employee key surveys, ‘body stat’ and one-to-one sessions to establish personal needs and goals.

Report key findings to the business and areas to be addressed, recommend wellness programs content and timescale to deliver.

Launch wellness programme and deliver specific workshops and practical sessions.

Deliver review sessions to report progress at agreed points within the wellness programme.
