100-Day Holistic Health Program for a Global Consulting Firm
In the competitive landscape of consulting, one prominent global firm with over 1500 employees in Sweden has distinguished itself through a steadfast commitment to employee wellbeing. This commitment took center stage in February 2020 when the firm, in collaboration with Aumla, launched an innovative 100-day holistic wellbeing program aimed at fostering physical, mental, and social health among its workforce.
Addressing Key Employee Challenges
Employee surveys had highlighted several critical issues, including the need for digital detox, high stress levels, work-life balance struggles, poor sleep, unhealthy eating habits, social isolation, and a diminished sense of community. The 100-day program was designed to tackle these challenges head-on, offering a comprehensive suite of services to enhance both professional and personal lives.
Holistic Wellbeing Strategy
The program’s strategy focused on creating a unique and engaging wellbeing experience for employees, featuring:
Workshops: Covering crucial topics like Physical Health, Mental Strength, Sleep, and Diet & Nutrition.
Individual Health Analysis: Utilizing ECG monitors to provide insights into stress, physical activity, and sleep patterns.
Personal Coaching: Offering guidance from experienced health coaches.
Office and Digital Activities: Increasing engagement and fostering a sense of community spirit.
Buddy Teams: Formed across the organisation to promote inclusivity and peer support.
HRV Tracker with AI Coaching: Providing continuous feedback and personalized advice.
Measurable Success and Feedback
The program was a resounding success, with a 4.5 out of 5 overall rating and 98% of participants recommending it to colleagues. Feedback highlighted significant improvements:
39% increase in employees engaging in over 60 minutes of physical activity daily.
36% reduction in employees at risk of burn-out due to stress.
30% reduction in employees suffering from poor sleep.
20% reduction in employees experiencing moderate to high levels of stomach issues.
Participants reported feeling more energized and focused, with many adopting sustainable habits that enhanced their overall wellbeing.
Recognized Excellence
This transformative program won a prestigious award in the Nordics for "Company & People," showcasing the firm’s ability to leverage technology and human ingenuity to foster a healthier workplace.
Sustainable and Inclusive Approach
The digital nature of the program allowed for on-demand access, eliminating the need for travel and contributing to sustainability. Buddy teams facilitated across all organizational levels fostered shared experiences and support, enhancing the company’s inclusive culture.
Continuous Improvement and Long-Term Impact
A retrospective analysis has driven enhancements for future iterations, ensuring the program evolves to meet the changing needs of employees. Documenting the program's success has also bolstered the firm’s marketing and recruitment efforts.
