Who to Watch in Workplace Wellness in Ireland in 2020
Who to Watch in Workplace Wellness in Ireland in 2020

There’s been some really positive progress in the health promotion landscape in Irish workplaces in recent years. Wellbeing leader roles are emerging within organisations as companies slowly begin to develop longer term wellness programmes as opposed to random acts of wellness and two healthy workplace accreditations are now up and running (with a third on the way) that support a more strategic approach to workplace wellbeing.

I made my debut at Lansdowne Road last week.

I was presenting at the Aviva Stadium for the Eventprofs Summer Slam.

It was a PechaKucha style presentation. 20 slides and only 20 seconds allowed for each slide (the slides rotated automatically). Great fun altogether!

The 8 Steps to a Successful Workplace Wellness Programme
The 8 Steps to a Successful Workplace Wellness Programme

There’s a lot of interest in health promotion in the workplace in Ireland at the moment which is fantastic to see. Companies of all sizes are waking up to the fact that healthy and happy staff have a positive impact on productivity, engagement, morale, and culture. Promoting the wellbeing of employees can reduce absenteeism, increase attraction and retention figures, reduce health care costs and improve camaraderie and team spirit. Why then are so many Irish businesses reluctant to start a wellness programme? For those that have started something, how come so many have been unsuccessful?
