Boosting team wellbeing
Workplace wellbeing events
Prioritising mental health and wellbeing in the workplace not only fosters a positive atmosphere and bolsters staff retention for employers, it also instils a sense of value and care amongst employees who recognise their wellbeing as a priority.
A workplace wellbeing event, organised by you with our expert products, serves as a dedicated platform aimed at enhancing the welfare of your employees.
Customised to align seamlessly with the unique requirements of your organisation, our workplace wellbeing events offer tangible experiences that underscore the significance of employee welfare within the organisational framework.
Built upon the acclaimed 5 Ways to Better Wellbeing model, each activity within our events are meticulously crafted to promote holistic wellness, ensuring that participants derive maximum benefit from the experience.
Together, we brought to life a diverse array of concepts that resonated deeply with our people, thanks to SAMH's profound understanding and expertise in the mental health space. Their invaluable support was instrumental in making the wellbeing initiative a resounding success"
