Corporate Health & Wellbeing

AdvanceNutrition works with leading UK companies delivering health and wellbeing programmes in the work place.

Increasingly employers and employees are recognising the importance of optimising their health and wellbeing in the workplace.  If you want your workforce to reach their full potential and ultimately enhance your company’s performance a health and wellbeing programme can help.
In the UK chronic disease including obesity related conditions is the principal cause of death and disability.  Moreover the overwhelming evidence is that most chronic illnesses can be linked to physical inactivity and inappropriate diet.  Implementing a nutrition and lifestyle programme is therefore one of the most effective measures a company can make to improve the health of their employees.  Not only can this result in lower absenteeism but a happier, healthier workforce with greater morale, improved mental and physical performance and productivity.

Of particular concern with the corporate sector are stress related disorders and ailments which are estimated to account for 75-90% of all doctor’s visits. Work related stress, depression or anxiety accounted for an estimated 13.5 million lost working days in Britain in 2007/2008 and it is estimated that 25% of people suffer severe work related stress or burnout at some point in their working life.  Ensuring businesses have in place an effective health and wellbeing strategy will be essential to long term performance.

The executive lifestyle includes many pressures, long hours and stressful situations that can easily take its toll on the body’s health reserves. This in turn can affect brain function, mental capacity and daily corporate performance as well as longer term health. Providing specialist nutritional advice can help to enhance concentration, focus, mood, sleep, fatigue and tolerance to stress.  Christine Bailey has experience of working alongside executives delivering programmes tailored to compliment their individual requirements and health goals helping to ensure your company stays ahead of the competition.

Keeping your employees healthier, happier and increasing their overall wellbeing can enable your company to perform to its optimum and prosper.
