Heath and Wellbeing: How can you achieve it?

Written by Virginia Sarkis

Wellbeing programs are beneficial in a number of ways. Helping to improve not only your health and wellbeing, but also your mood and mentality, wellbeing programs can increase your productivity and improve your work performance.

EBR has developed a 2011 Wellbeing Program, consisting of a healthy eating plan and exercise regime, in order to benefit our employees. Our program focuses on one specific element of food/exercise every month to promote health and happiness.

Some of EBR's scheduled activities for the 2011 EBR Wellbeing Program include:

• Healthy breakfasts as a team (e.g. muesli)
• Yoga sessions
• Walking around the suburb
• Stretching in the office
• Drinking herbal tea
• Taking time out to reflect on the year so far

Everyone can benefit from a wellbeing program - it can brighten your mood and encourage social interaction. Try a wellbeing program in your office and you will see the difference.
