Healthier, more energised employees tend to be happier employees. And happy employees create a great atmosphere within the company and have an important and positive social impact! Do you want to encourage your employees to embrace healthier habits during Vitality Week, but aren't quite sure how? Want to surprise them with a lovely gift to boost happiness, or a present that benefits their wellbeing? A genuine thank you or an unexpected treat can have a bigger effect than you'd think!
1. Personal growth and development
Employees who get the chance to grow, learn new things and feel that their employer believes in them tend to be happier employees. Personal (professional) growth keeps employees motivated, helps them feel good in their job, and generally supports their mental and physical wellbeing.
Make sure your employees have access to suitable training programmes and coaching paths, that they have a mentor to support them, and so on. And use Vitality Week to clearly highlight all these opportunities!
2. Get those legs moving
We all know that enough movement is good for us. Getting enough exercise helps us cope better with stress, sleep better, and become mentally stronger. Encourage your employees, in an enjoyable way, to fit enough physical activity into their day.
Set up a walking club for lunchtime, gift a gym membership, or find playful ways to encourage people to take the stairs instead of the lift and move regularly throughout the day.
Maybe a yoga or pilates instructor could come to the office during lunch. The possibilities are endless — just get moving, that's the message! Seeing others move inspires you to move too, and doing it together is always more fun, right?!
3. A healthier gift
A healthy mind in a healthy body. Our bodies need the right nutrition to function well. Give your employees the chance to choose more nutritious food in the company canteen. And what if you made it super easy for your employees to choose healthier options, even during their break, with an original and healthier gift?
With a JustBite snack box, for example, taking a healthier and utterly delicious break becomes effortless. Surprise them with delicious snacks that are good for them, packed with essential nutrients and without unnecessary sugar or additives. Their focus will soar, and so will their overall wellbeing! You can even add a personal message, so your employees know you care about their wellbeing and vitality!
Work together with your employees on their vitality, and let Vitality Week be the start of a lovely journey toward a healthier mind and body — for you and your employees!
