As winter nears, kiwi businesses recognise the need more than ever to help re-energise their employee wellbeing. But, of course, it’s not just flu & Covid we’re facing; it’s the cumulative effect of the two years of living in a global Pandemic – general fatigue is kicking in. For businesses in Highbrook Park and its surrounds, mobile health services are a great solution. Here’s what you need to know our about onsite wellness programmes.

How will you alleviate employee Burnout this winter?

Re-energising your team with onsite workplace wellness initiatives

Let’s face it; everyone has recently faced extra pressures due to unavoidable time off work. Isolation and illness have meant kiwi employees have less time to set aside for basic health checks, let alone mental health check-ins. Fortunately, there are ways employers can help make health a priority and re-energise their team as a result. By organising for our mobile team of health care professionals to come into your Highbrook business, we can save your staff time, cost and inconvenience of scheduling time out of the office.

How to recognise signs of employee burnout or anxiety

We all go through peaks and troughs in any business, but you might observe your team need extra support. Designing an employee workplace wellness plan that is accessible is key.

Watch out for signs of employee burnout, including:

• they seem less engaged with their everyday work
• attendance is reduced or sporadic
• productivity is slowing, or quality consistency drops
• conflicts arise more frequently
• problem solver seems harder

It’s essential to recognise the extra anxiety and emotional strains our community has been under recently. Dr Jayani Kannagara, a GP leading the Mobile Health Unit,  says, “Understandably, self-care has taken a backseat for many of us. So, we can help ensure that your team has a toolkit to support their mental health and that they have been enabled to pick up on preventative healthcare screening and simple lifestyle activities.”

Setting up Health and mental wellbeing offerings in your workplace is easy

In the Highbrook Business Park, we’ve already seen the positive effects of bringing our health care workshops and clinics into the workplace. Our Partners like Newly Wed Foods and Fisher & Paykel have seen the benefits of co-designing ways to support staff health. It’s benefited them with a happier, healthier and more protected workforce. But it also lowered absenteeism and boosted productivity. It’s making the Highbrook Business Park a healthier place overall.
