Health Well Being 1

Wellness in the Workplace

Most people experience an element of fatigue at some point in their lives. It is important that we listen & respond to our energy levels & signs of energy fatigue so that the cycle can be broken. As an employer we need to encourage a work environment focusing on Health & Wellbeing of our people so they have the energy to achieve, grow, enjoy & be more effective in their work & personal lives.

Half-day Workshop

Energy Management for Vibrant Health: Half-day Workshop

This half day workshop focuses on how to manage your energy in a high expectation life style, while remaining in the driver’s seat. A must for those people who want to maintain the balance in their personal & professional life.
Most people experience an element of fatigue at some point in their lives. It is important that we listen & respond to our energy levels & signs of energy fatigue so that the cycle can be broken. The experience of energy fatigue can be different for each person & in our busy lives we can forget to listen to what our bodies are communicating to us. As a result, energy fatigue can begin to affect many areas of our lives, including work. Strategies implemented outside of work will also affect energy levels at work & what is implemented at work will also affect energy levels outside of work. This is an empowering workshop that encourages us to take responsibility for creating our own health & wellbeing to ensure we have the energy to enjoy our personal & professional life.
