Sandra Zeiback shares why corporate wellness retreats are so essential.
Corporate Wellness is a hot trend right now! The concept itself; has been around for a while - Global Workplace Wellness in 2020 was ($49 billion*), and the benefits of wellness: corporately, and in life as we know it now - after a pandemic, continues to evolve.
Not only are people more conscious about physical health; they are also focused on mental and emotional wellbeing; seeking out and engaging in activities to improve their overall health and wellbeing.
‘Wellness is an active pursuit of activities, choice, and lifestyle’ – The Global Wellness Institute.
Workplaces are also realising, that the mental, emotional, and physical health of their staff is imperative for a productive, resilient, happy, and innovative workplace. And, that wellness, whether offered in a program, or retreat, is not only important today, but also essential.
Corporate wellness inspires positive change. Recent surveys by the Global Wellness Institute have shown there has been a huge increase of organisations and small businesses including wellness activities or, a whole wellness itinerary in their conferences and events.
There is also a surge in businesses, who may already be familiar with health promotion programs, wellness incentives, or workplace ergonomics, but are now keen to adopt an employee wellbeing strategy; to support and improve the health and wellbeing of their staff.
People come up with their best ideas, creations and collaborations when they are away from the workplace- often in fresh air, out in nature or in an inviting venue or environment- with the time and space to brainstorm, collaborate, create, and focus.
Getting out of the office to head away from the “day-to-day”, improves mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. Keeps one stress-free, rejuvenated, purposeful, and productive.
It is imperative that organisations are supporting the overall health of their teams’ including their mental and emotional wellbeing and, a corporate Wellness Retreat provides the perfect opportunity for employers to move toward a culture which proactively manages the wellness in the workplace; fostering a healthier work environment where people bring their best self to work.
Corporate Wellness Retreats provide an essential break from work; to create space: mentally and physically. They are an essential escape that helps to foster a more positive environment on return to the workplace.
A healthy business needs healthy staff. Like any well-designed wellness program, a
corporate retreat can boost morale, empowering all team members, encouraging better health behaviours, reduced absenteeism, and heightened productivity. Wellness retreats also help an organisation to retain staff for longer (they feel more valued in the workplace). A positive environment for all parties to be in. Leaders can use this way of employee wellness for greater effectiveness.
Forward thinking organisations are including wellness retreats as part of their corporate retreats and conferences; helping people to succeed, in a culture and mindful environment, that produces emotionally intelligent, productive, happy people.
