A proactive approach to workplace wellbeing.
Our expert team are ready to help your business:
Corporate Wellness Programmes support the overall health and wellbeing of a company’s employees. The goal is to help employees feel healthier, more energised and less likely to fall ill.
As the saying goes: “Prevention is better than cure.”
In reality, wellbeing cannot be guaranteed by a single perk, technique or tool. It requires a holistic approach and this is exactly what Corporate Wellness Programmes seek to provide. For that reason, schemes can be as comprehensive as the budget allows.
Counselling sessions, healthy food offerings and gym memberships are just a few examples of what might be including in a wellbeing programme.
Schemes can be set up and managed internally or provided by an external Corporate Wellness service provider. Either way, it’s useful to get independent advice from industry experts before making an investment.

Health and wellness programmes can be as simple or as wide ranging as your budget allows. As mentioned above, such schemes can either be set-up and run internally or they can be outsourced to a specialist provider. Many businesses choose to employ a Corporate Wellness consultant who can advise on the best course of action to maximise return on investment.
Corporate Wellbeing Programmes can include:
If you have plenty of spare HR capacity, you may choose to set-up a scheme yourself. Otherwise, it’s advised to get specialist external support.
Employing a Corporate Wellness consultant can simplify the process of setting up, managing and tracking a scheme – and ensuring it provides maximum benefit to business and employee alike.
Nonetheless, it’s worth understanding the 6 key steps required to develop successful Corporate Wellness Programmes:
It’s often useful to have a team of people whose job is to ensure that employees are fully aware of the tools they have at their disposal to safeguard and improve their wellbeing. They can also relay feedback to HR or senior management.
Whether you have a dedicated wellness team or not, there needs to be a plan for how to promote the wellbeing offering to the whole workforce. Posters, meetings and email communications are just a few ways you can ensure your team get the most from the scheme.
Once you’ve pieced together a wellness programme based on employee feedback (and according to budget) – and you’ve prepped your comms plan – you can launch the scheme.
Staff surveys can help track satisfaction & wellbeing levels, while absenteeism rates can be used to measure whether the programme is having a positive impact for the business.
According to a 2020 UK workplace survey by Perkbox, four out of five UK workers (79%) commonly experience work-related stress. Meanwhile more than half (55%) experience stress-induced anxiety.
While a level of stress is inevitable in any workplace, it’s important that employees are given the tools and support to ensure it doesn’t have a detrimental affect on their health.
At Engage Health Group we believe that healthy employees are good for business, and that investing in staff health and wellbeing can have far reaching and powerful results.
Traditionally, employers have relied solely upon insurance mechanisms such as Group Medical Insurance, Group Income Protection and Health Cash Plans. While these policies can be extremely effective in addressing ill health – and are highly valued by staff – they are usually reactive in nature.
Conversely, employee wellness programmes are designed to stop ill-health – physical or mental – from developing in the first place.
