White Paper - Collaborative Wellbeing

Happy, engaged, positive, fulfilled? First one into work, last to leave? High fiving your team? So fizzing with bright ideas you could burst? Or do you work in HR? In which case it’s your job, your responsibility, and your health – and sanity – to make sure everyone else feels shiny and happy.

There is a lot of research into wellbeing. Newspapers, websites and blogs are continually overfed with the latest headlines.  There are also countless services out there promising magic bullet cure-alls.   All this set against the backdrop of a continuous fingerpointing debate about just whose job it is. Should you – and your business – make people choose Granola over Ginsters? Aren’t we supposed to be treating people as adults? 

But that’s assuming you think ‘wellness’ is just about healthy eating, subsidised gym facilities, EAP providers. Or anti-smoking policies. That every wellbeing initiative costs money. Or bottom line positive impacts (reduced absence, higher productivity) can’t be measured. Or that science can’t tell you when the best time in the day it is to make healthy business decisions. That a talented system with a healthy supply of new ideas is not the principal source of competitive advantage. Now, more than ever, wellness is the smart strategic move.

Our starting point – as HR – is HR. Strategic, commercial, evidence-based, transformative HR. HR who want to put their business, its approach to wellbeing, its best practices against competitors and beyond, on the scales. Who want to put them and their business on the right long-term road.  And not starting Monday. Today.

But first up, the important stuff. What we mean by Wellbeing. Who it’s for (the answer to which might surprise you). Then the getting-into-shape practical (but interactive too) stuff: where to start, and how to get more from less.

Consider this your personal fitness plan just for HR.  With your very own free scales, diagnostic tools, and access to your own personal business fitness trainer, just in case you feel a cramp coming on from the CFO.

How do you feel now? Warmed up, raring to go? Let’s get to it then.
