Workplace Wellbeing Programs
Optimising people and performance through realising health potential
Why Invest in Wellbeing
We make it easy for you to invest in the wellbeing of your most valuable resource – your people. Workplace wellbeing has come a long way. Today it’s seen as more than simply something that’s good to do. Evidence-based research backs this up and shows us that investing in employee wellbeing:
- Improves employee physical, mental and social health.
- Creates a healthier, more engaged
- Contributes to productivity gains of up to 15%.
- Reduces employee health risk factors by 56% (NSW Department of Health).
- Improves employee engagement and commitment and reduces absenteeism.
- Reduces presenteeism (health-related work impairment).
- Increases creativity and innovation.
- Improves working conditions which can lead to fewer workplace accidents.
- Delivers a Return on Investment (ROI) of $3 to $5 (2016 ROI White Paper, Employee Health, Workplace Health Association of Australia).
“Increasingly, we all understand that a holistic approach to wellness requires action in advance of the appearance of illness and that our ability to live healthy lives is inextricably linked to our time spent at work” (PWC, Workplace Wellness in Australia, 2010).
The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports full time employees work just over 40 hours per week. Employers therefore have the best opportunity to influence healthy behaviours and to benefit from improved performance and return on investment of optimising the health potential of their people.
Our Approach
As each workplace is as unique as the employees within it, we begin with a customised workplace wellbeing assessment. We provide a comprehensive needs diagnosis and then follow through with customised evidence based programs and targeted results.
We then build a tailored workplace wellness program that will deliver measurable impacts on employee physical, psychological and social wellbeing - to suit your timelines, budget, workplace culture and the way that you go about the work you do.
We are well placed to deliver holistic programs with our national team of allied health professionals including occupational therapists, exercise physiologists, physiotherapists, ergonomists, registered clinical and organisational psychologists, rehabilitation counsellors, vocational consultants and occupational physicians.
We pride ourselves on the close relationships we have with our clients, built on a sound understanding of client needs and providing quality service. All our programs are designed to be measurable, to enable them to be monitored and reviewed to optimise health outcomes. It’s important to us that you see evidence-based impacts.
By combining our clinical expertise, the science of behaviour, our national resources and commercial acumen we achieve industry leading outcomes that enable you to focus on what you do best.
‘Altius Group is a team of personable professionals, delivering services that make an enormous impact on the lives of people, businesses and communities.
Preventing physical and psychological injuries is not just possible, it is absolutely achievable. Engaging with experts who deliver evidence based solutions ensures a measurable and tangible return on investment for our clients’.
