Workplace Wellbeing

“Optimising the workplace environment and providing your employees with the tools for better health is one of the most transformative things you can do for their productivity and overall wellbeing. Which, in turn, leads to a more profitable business.”

- Jade Leighton, Founder, The Holistic Health Method®

A previous career in the fast-paced world of advertising has given Jade a true understanding of the challenges employees working under pressure in an office or home environment can face.

 With her workplace wellbeing services Jade offers digestible information and insights along with actionable tips that will help your employees transform their health, life and work performance.

The Importance of Workplace Wellbeing

It’s the sad reality of modern life that we are becoming more stressed and less productive at work. This is as a result of the amount of time we spend working and the expectations upon us, and as a result mental and physical wellbeing is considerably affected.

Over the last 10 years there has been a significant increase in ‘presenteeism’ in UK companies - where employees turn up for work in spite of physical or mental health issues, and fail to perform effectively. Perhaps this is even more of an issue with people working from home following the pandemic. According to Britain’s Healthiest Workplace Survey, a whopping 45% of UK workers admitted to suffering from ‘presenteeism’ in 2019, suggesting the drastic need for workplaces to increase their focus on health and wellbeing in order to support their staff.

Those who invest in this aspect of their businesses are seeing considerable improvements in the morale, health and productivity of their employees, and in turn, lower staff turnover. This can be achieved through a range of bespoke offerings from The Holistic Health Method®.

In 2019, the UK economy lost c. £92 billion as a result of health-related absence and ‘presenteeism’ at work.

The Benefits of Workplace Wellbeing

  • Traditional ways of working have changed so much over the last few years. Now, employees want to work for companies who are not only flexible with hours and office-based vs home-based working, but who also offer a number of perks that demonstrate how much they care about health and wellbeing.

  • The Holistic Health Method® workplace wellbeing services enable employees to understand more about how nutrition and lifestyle choices impact their health and productivity in the workplace. Further to this, by providing actionable advice on how to improve these factors immediately, you can expect to see improvements in how your employees feel and perform as a result.

  • Staff costs can make up nearly 99% of business costs. By empowering employees to improve their own health, increase productivity and feel happier you will, in turn, see the financial benefits on how efficiently the company performs over time.

Client Testimonial

“We had the pleasure of Jade’s support as part of our internal Nutrition & Hydration Week Initiatives to help inspire colleagues within the business to take small steps to leading a healthier lifestyle.
