Are you interested in supporting your executives and teams with their health and wellness?

Has the current pandemic highlighted areas that need additional support?

Are you thinking of putting a more structured health and wellness programme in place?

The current pandemic is making it very clear that the health of people is at the heart of a thriving business and society. Most workplaces have employees working from home at the moment, where they juggle conflicting priorities and experience new stresses that put pressure on health and wellness for many.

Businesses were given the impression that  widespread and even mandatory Covid-19 vaccination would be the pathway to restoring stability and confidence. In practice this has not worked out for everyone.

SO, WHAT MORE CAN BE DONE? 

With Covid-19 likely to stay around and the flu-season upon us it is more important than ever for people to understand what they can do themselves in order to stay healthy in areas of nutrition, sleep, exercise, relaxation, managing stress and a healthy mindset.  All of these play a key role in immune health and the susceptibility to and severity of viral diseases.

Providing people with evidence-based knowledge and tools to take positive action for their own health and wellness also helps to alleviate fear and uncertainty.   The immune system response is a key factor in the presentation and severity of symptoms.  Inflammation is an essential part of the immune response that helps to trap and destroy an invading pathogen, such as a virus. The evidence is pointing to an excessive inflammatory response in people with severe symptoms, who for the largest part have other pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity. 

Chronic inflammation can be reduced with appropriate nutrition and lifestyle choices. 

The immune system can be supported with appropriate nutrition and lifestyle choices.

Action in both areas is a key factor in improving health and wellness outcomes.

Every employee can benefit from  additional health and wellness support in these challenging times.  You may also consider providing additional support for employees with pre-existing chronic conditions who may feel particularly vulnerable at the moment.
