Partnering with organisations

Are you looking to help your employees eat well, sleep better, move more, and stress less. The resulting changes can deliver great impact to your business.

Ayubowan Health Coaching for Organisations and Employees

Healthier employees make more productive businesses

The health of your business is inextricably linked to the health of your employees. 

When you help your employees eat well, sleep better, move more, and stress less, the impact on your business is overwhelmingly positive.
Healthier employees mean lower absenteeism, increased engagement, higher levels of energy, fewer accidents and—most importantly—higher productivity.

A study by Medibank found that healthy workers are almost three times more productive than their unhealthy colleagues. The research also revealed that those employees with poor overall health status have up to nine times more annual sick days.*

The impact on Australian businesses is significant, with poor performance adversely affecting profitability and growth. The Medibank study showed that unhealthy full-time employees worked only 49 effective hours per month, whereas their healthy counterparts worked 143 effective hours.

Medibank’s findings reveal the extent of the problem across Australia but are also consistent with widely accepted international research. A literature review by Monash University—of more than 152 studies worldwide—found the same findings: that an employee’s productivity is affected by their health.

But the news isn’t all bad. Research has found that when staff health improves, so too does the health of the company. When employees eat, sleep, and manage their stress better, absenteeism drops, and productivity rises.

Ayubowan Health & Lifestyle Medicine – a strategic approach to health

Improving the overall health—and productivity—of a workforce requires a strategic overview and a targeted approach.

I work with organisations to assess and understand the health and well-being of their employees. Using evidence-based approach we can help to address lifestyle-related issues that affect performance such as:

  • Inadequate diet
  • Insufficient exercise
  • Poor emotional wellbeing
  • Difficulty in managing stress
  • Disturbed sleep
  • Lack of energy
  • Poor mental health
  • Smoking and alcohol consumption
  • Lacking a sense of purpose

 

Supporting an employee to address any of these issues can make a significant change to their performance and productivity and reduce the risk of burnout.

Practical, tailor-made programs for leaders, teams and individuals

I can work with you to help you implement a healthy workplace strategy designed to improve the health and performance of your employees. I can work one-on-one with yourself or an employee, run a health education workshop for one of your teams, or facilitate a corporate health program across your organisation.

To ensure the best results from your new health and wellbeing strategy we can:

  1. Work together to determine the optimum picture of health for your employees and your business.
  2. Map out and instigate initiatives to bridge the gap between their current and ideal levels of health.
  3. Help your employees map out their own health and wellbeing strategies.
  4. Support you and your employees in improving their health and wellbeing.
  5. Measure the effectiveness of the initiatives

Practical, tailor-made programs for leaders, teams and individuals

My approach is based on the latest scientific research from the fields of neuroscience, physiology, coaching psychology, Lifestyle Medicine and habit change. Depending on the needs of your organisation, the solutions can include:

  • Facilitating health and lifestyle programs to motivate and empower employees to improve their health.
  • Delivering keynote presentations and workshops on health and wellbeing, and behaviour and habit change.
  • Providing Health & Well-being Coaching for personalised and ongoing guided support.
  • Share tools to improve energy and improve mental and physical wellbeing

 

Research has proven that there is a direct link between employee health and productivity: when a person’s well-being drops by 20%, it leads to a 10% drop in performance.

 

Together, we can help your employees make small and sustainable changes that lead to a big difference for the long term.
