RISE Corporate Wellness Program

My signature RISE Corporate Wellness Program is comprised of 8 modules, each addressing a crucial element of health and wellbeing. To ensure long-lasting impact, the program is built upon four pillars represented by the acronym RISE.

R – Resilience Building

All modules are focused on equipping individuals with tools and techniques to develop resilience to help them bounce back from setbacks, adapt to challenges and maintain a positive mindset no matter what life/work throws at them.

I – Inner Transformation

Throughout the program, participants embark on a journey of personal growth and inner development. They explore self-reflection, self-awareness and self-improvement strategies to align their thoughts, emotions and behaviours with their wellness goals. This fosters positive change and transformation from within.

S – Sustainable Habits

Each module comes complete with a workbook that is packed full of information, ideas and easy-to-implement changes and lifestyle practices that deliver easy wins. This helps to create healthy habits to support lasting change.

E – Emotional Wellbeing

Throughout the program, participants gain insights into 8 key elements of health and learn how to manage emotions and improve emotional intelligence. Participants are taught techniques for stress management and self-care to nurture emotional wellbeing and enhance health and happiness.

Empowering Employees To Take Control Of Their Health & Wellbeing

The RISE program was developed to help individuals to take control of their health and wellbeing. By building resilience, undergoing personal transformations, adopting sustainable habits and nurturing emotional wellbeing, participants are empowered to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives. The program provides key skills, knowledge and techniques that individuals can implement to create lasting positive changes in their health and wellbeing.

Customised Wellness Programs

The RISE Corporate Wellness Program can be customised or modified to suit your timeline and delivered in hour-long modules, half-day or full-day workshops. The program can be tailored to suit your industry and you can select specific modules or topics to create a wellness program customised to your exact requirements.

Hour Long Modules/Half-Day/Full-Day Workshops

Corporate wellness programs delivered in half or full-day workshops are great for rapid immersion and a deep dive into wellness. Alternatively, the RISE program can be delivered over multiple weeks or months in hour-long blocks, each covering a specific module to provide ongoing and sustained support. This allows plenty of time for staff to implement the training and ensures sustained progress and continuous improvement in health and wellbeing outcomes.

Increased Employee Engagement

Implementing corporate health and wellbeing programs shows workers that the organisation values the wellbeing of its employees. This can boost employee morale, job satisfaction and loyalty, resulting in higher levels of retention and engagement.

Reduced Absenteeism

Corporate health programs can help reduce absenteeism due to illness or health-related issues. Employees who actively engage in healthy behaviours are less likely to take sick leave and more likely to be present and productive at work. This can result in cost savings for the organisation.

This can positively impact the organisation’s brand image, attracting customers, clients and partners who align with the organisation’s values and mission.

Overall Organisational Success

When employees are healthy, engaged, and motivated, it positively impacts the organisation’s overall success. By emphasising employee health and wellbeing, companies can achieve their long-term business goals and become more productive, resilient and successful.
