Nationally accredited workplace health and wellness training

for practitionersDevelop a wellness strategy that brings

out the best in your people and bottom line.

I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the course – it was exactly what I was looking for, what I needed and what I wanted...”Gabriella Meleo Director, Proactive Health and Safety

An organisation is only as healthy as its employees.

That is why the greatest investment an organisation can make is in their people.

Creating and implementing a successful health and wellness strategy that is directly linked to business goals is possible, however many companies struggle.

You may face:> Difficulty in getting buy-in from senior management and demonstrating the business imperative for investment.

> Not having the necessary skills, experience or support to initiate, develop and lead an effective and sustainable strategy.

> Fruitless investments of time and energy without seeing results which can lead to discouragement.

> Just feeling overwhelmed with the amount of work required to put a wellness strategy together and not knowing where to start.

It’s OK. We’ve been there too.

And maybe you have tried some wellness initiatives in the past, such as corporate massage, stress management seminars and standing desks.

But 90 per cent of the time, workplaces approach employee wellness in the wrong way and these efforts can just be a Band-Aid.

We’ve walked in your shoes and know how you feel

Our key people are now equipped to develop a contemporary health, safety and wellness strategy that will serve the organisation and its people well into the future. ”Tony Doyle CEO, Knox City Council

Nurture wellness at a grassroots levelThis half or full day workshop is aimed at producing a network of enthusiastic “Wellness Champions” at the grassroots level of an organisation to provide peer-to-peer education, support and awareness of wellness opportunities available in the organisation. This workshop is ideal for onboarding new champions or as formal training for an existing or revamped Champions’ network.

Leverage leaders as change agents for a healthy businessThis workshop is specifically tailored to middle management and senior leaders and delves into why they need to be well to lead well, together with how they can serve as catalysts for driving engagement in your strategy and building a culture of wellness. It is ideal for launching your company’s wellness strategy, or as an extension of existing leadership training.

Workplace wellness is a holistic and collaborative effort – and sometimes requires thinking outside the box. And it is for this reason we offer a host of additional training and support options through our dedicated Wellness Wise™ Academy, centred on building your organisation’s internal capability to develop an effective and results-oriented workplace wellness strategy – for everyone.

Mentoring: Individual help at your fingertipsIf you are still needing a guiding hand following the training, we provide additional one-on-one virtual mentoring packages with one of our expert wellness team. We can work with you to develop a business case for senior leaders, review policies, provide career coaching, facilitate a strategic planning session, undertake evaluation of wellness initiatives, or simply serve as a sounding board for your latest wellness idea. Simply select our 3 month (3 x 1 hour) or 6 month (6 x 1 hour) package and let the Wellness™ Wise experience continue.

Two other ways to make workplace wellness an easy priorityRelying on external providers to keep your wellness strategy working simply does not work. You need skilled and capable inhouse personnel to action your strategy and be accountable. That is why we have put together another two training packages that cater to all facets of your organisation to help you achieve your wellness goals. These training programs can be combined with the Wellness Wise™ Practitioner training to make a potent three-tiered strategy or done individually.
