Reliable research shows that good employee health and wellbeing boosts organisational health. 

There are numerous reasons why investing to enhance employee health and wellbeing makes good business sense. 

 

Improve employee engagement, work performance and therefore productivity

  • Reduce costs associated with absenteeism, presenteeism, disability and workers’ compensation,

  • Improve the culture of the organisation and retain existing employees,

  • Improve the organisation’s image, attract talented employees and fulfill corporate social responsibility obligations.

​

Healthy employees = healthy organisations = healthy business performance.

Either choose from the series of ready made talks, or we can create bespoke programes to suite your organisations specific goals.​

If there is a topic you are interested in but not listed above, please ask us and we will be happy to discuss it with you, and create a seminar to meet your needs.

As experienced speakers, our seminars are interactive and fun. We aim to educate and enthuse the participants to make healthy choices and changes to their diet for life.

In this series of seminars we look at how simple dietary changes can make a difference to productivity.

Seminar 1:  How to have great energy levels throughout the day

Every wondered why energy levels drop after lunch? Do you feel sleepy and unable to concentrate at certain times of the day?

In this first seminar we explore what affects our energy levels and take a look at macronutrient balance; we explain how to eat for better blood sugar control; and reveal the foods that give us great energy levels.  You learn how good blood sugar control is the first step to staying alert and wide awake throughout the working day.

Seminar 2:  A healthy brain: What foods are good for the brain?

Can what we eat really impact our mental ability? Yes!

In this seminar we discuss the nutrients that nourish your brain and the nervous system and help to keep you mentally sharp all day.  We will help you understand how healthy fats, complex carbohydrates and antioxidants, amongst other key nutrients make a difference and how best to get them into your diet.

Reducing Absenteeism

You probably know that the top 5 causes of short term absenteeism are minor illnesses such as colds and flu; stress; neck strain; back pain and family responsibilities. We would hazard a guess that tummy bugs or IBS also features quite highly on the list of reasons for absence, but people may be embarrassed to discuss this. In response to this we have created a series of three talks aimed at empowering your employees to take better control of their health through diet and lifestyle, hopefully meaning that they will be less likely to need to take time off work and will enjoy better levels of health and wellbeing.

Seminar 1:  Boost your immune system naturally to avoid coughs, colds and flu 

Picking up viruses such as colds and flu is not inevitable. We will explore the numerous ways that you can boost your immune system so that these minor illnesses are a thing of the past. We explain the concept of the immune boosting diet and the importance of knowing your levels of Vitamin D. We will also cut through the confusion of supplements and suggest the key nutrients they should contain.

Seminar 2:  Mental health and absenteeism

In this talk we will explain how work stress can affect mental health and the physiological effects that it has on the body. We will share simple strategies for reducing stress and building resilience, including dietary and lifestyle recommendations.

Seminar 3: Good gut health

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is the most common gastrointestinal disorder in the UK and effects a significant proportion of the working population. This, often embarrassing, condition can affect both productivity and absenteeism, and is probably not readily discussed. In this talk we explain the ways you can improve gut function through diet and lessen the symptoms that individuals might be suffering with privately.

 

Managing Stress

Stress is one of the major causes of absenteeism in the workplace and is the scourge of our fast paced, modern society. In this series of three talks we explore exactly what stress is and how it impacts health, often in unexpected ways.  For those whose stress levels are particularly high we explore burnout and suggest ways in which attendees can regain control of their stress levels and bring back balance. In our third talk we examine sleep and its link to stress, and explain how vital restorative sleep is to combatting the effects of stress.

Seminar 1: Stress and how it affects your health  

In this introductory talk we will explain exactly what stress is and the physiological effects that it has on the body. We will share simple strategies for reducing stress, including dietary and lifestyle recommendations.

Seminar 2: Heading for Burnout? How to regain your energy and resilience

We explain what burnout is (also known as Adrenal Fatigue) and the consequences of not addressing it. We will explore how to determine if you do have it, including an interactive questionnaire session and information on available testing options. We then go on to share nutritional strategies for reversing adrenal fatigue and helpful lifestyle strategies for nourishing the adrenal glands.

Seminar 3: Sleep and its link to stress

In the third seminar of the stress programme we explore the importance of good quality sleep and the consequences of sleep deprivation in terms of health and specifically stress. We then present sleep hygiene protocols for combatting insomnia and restoring healthy sleep patterns, and discuss the role of diet in supporting good sleep
