Corporate Wellness

Our health program is supporting and inspiring businesses within the community. We integrate a health culture within your work environment empowering staff with knowledge delivered by our Allied Health partners on customised topics. Building a rapport and the trust of an employee will drive the success to embrace a positive culture! Progressive companies that understand investment in mind and body of their staff results in an engaged and dynamic workforce which equals profit and success.
THE VALUE
  • Improve your workforce, reduce your sick leave, retain your staff.
  • Have a more dynamic team and reduce stress.
  • Clarity of mind increases focus and retention.
  • A positive attitude and moral engages a happy team culture.
  • Open creativity and leverage on optimum performance to make your workplace the place to be.
We have experienced that the value of offering a “health program” to businesses within the community means that we could also support individual needs if more help is required. A forward-thinking organisation knows that healthy, motivated employees are the driving force behind every successful business. The nature of this program will benefit our “sedentary lifestyles and an ageing workforce” which is a growing threat to business performance so to invest in your most valuable asset – “your people” becomes of greater importance
OUR APPROACH
ABODY’s unique approach is based on the principle that any health program should be done for and with your employees being a “co-create” approach thus aligning with your business philosophy and values, taking a holistic approach to the program. We have designed the program by integrating the “mind & body” with services for your complete support. Through information sessions that can be scheduled during lunch hours across a variety of topics ie. diet & nutrition, posture, using your mind effectively, carrying out regular weekly fitness regimes like yoga & pilates can compliment a well balanced health program.
ABODY and our community based Allied Health partners are enthusiastic to support you through your tailored health program journey, so lets get started.
