Absolutely. The data is compelling: employee disengagement costs the UK economy £257 billion annually - equivalent to running another NHS. Only 24% of employees feel their organisation cares about their wellbeing (Gallup, 2023), yet when companies prioritise workplace wellness, they see 18% higher productivity, 23% higher profitability, and 51% lower turnover rates (Gallup, 2024). With 90% of UK employees either quiet quitting or actively disengaged, and managers influencing 70% of how team members feel at work, the business case for workplace wellness isn't just clear - it's urgent.
Insights Discovery® case study with Indeed demonstrated a 2,063% return on investment. Organisations typically see an 18% increase in productivity and 51% reduction in turnover rates. 96% of Habit For Health course participants report direct benefits from our programmes, including improved energy levels, reduced stress and better team collaboration.
All our programmes are available both virtually and in-person, delivering the same tools and effectiveness regardless of format. We adapt our delivery methods to suit your team's working arrangements whilst maintaining the quality and impact of our services.
We partner with organisations of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises. For optimal learning experiences, we recommend workshops of no more than 12 participants, though our Elevate programmes can be scaled for organisation-wide implementation.
