Back in November, during our Annual Planning Day, we decided to implement monthly well-being activities. These events are designed to boost team morale, provide practical knowledge, and make work life more enjoyable.
This month’s highlight? A Corporate Wellness Workshop at Spine & Sports Physiotherapy!
A Focus on Holistic Health
Pilates for All
The workshop began with a Pilates session, led by Samantha Shearman. Using reformer Pilates machines and wunda chairs, the session introduced the fundamentals of Pilates while also providing an engaging circuit workout. This one-hour class left everyone feeling both energized and refreshed.
Strength and Movement Analysis
Next, our team underwent a 15-minute movement analysis and strength test using VALD ForceDecks. This cutting-edge technology assessed individual strength, side-to-side differences, and movement mechanics. Each participant received a personalised report via an app—perfect for setting fitness goals and tracking progress.
Nutrition for Productivity and Well-Being
Dietitian Natalie Briggs delivered a session focused on nutrition’s role in optimising workplace productivity. Key topics included:
- Gut health essentials.
- Nutrition for better sleep.
- Tips to sustain energy throughout the day.
Natalie also debunked common myths about fad diets and their long-term effects. A Q&A with our expert panel followed, ensuring everyone left with actionable takeaways to implement in their daily lives.
Why Corporate Wellness Matters
Incorporating wellness initiatives like this Corporate Wellness Workshop isn’t just a feel-good activity—it’s a productivity booster. Activities such as Pilates and nutrition coaching help employees reduce stress, improve focus, and foster a sense of camaraderie. When we invest in our team’s health, we invest in our company’s future.
What’s Next?
December’s steps challenge got our team moving, while January’s workshop took things to the next level. With Joe at the helm of this initiative, we can’t wait to see what he has planned next month. At TradeConnex, wellness isn’t just an event—it’s a culture.
By integrating these monthly activities, we’re strengthening not only individual health but also the bonds within our team. Stay tuned for more updates on our wellness journey!
