A NURTURING ATMOSPHERE
COEO UK EMPOWERS STAFF WELLBEING WITH WORKSHOP PROGRAMME

COEO

In a bid to fortify its internal wellbeing framework, coeo UK has launched its highly anticipated 2024 staff wellbeing workshop programme. This initiative aims to build upon the notable successes achieved in the past twelve months, underscoring the company’s commitment to prioritising employee welfare and fostering a supportive workplace culture.

Teaming up with former international rugby player turned mental health presenter, Robbie Hunter-Paul, coeo UK kicked off the programme with the inaugural workshop titled ‘An Introduction to Wellbeing’. This session marks the beginning of an empowering journey for staff members as they embark on constructing their own wellbeing toolkit.

Speaking on the significance of the initiative, coeo UK CEO Tim Anson emphasised the paramount importance of prioritising employee wellbeing, particularly in an industry characterised by demanding interactions and emotionally taxing situations. Anson highlighted the essential role of supporting the mental and emotional health of employees in maintaining morale, enhancing productivity, and cultivating an empathetic organisational culture.

The workshop programme encompasses five comprehensive sessions covering four core pillars of wellbeing, with a dedicated focus on stress management. Hunter-Paul provided insights into the workshop sessions, detailing how they address various aspects of wellbeing. From reframing perceptions around mental health to exploring stress management techniques, mindfulness practices, the importance of quality sleep, and the role of exercise and nutrition, the programme offers a holistic approach to promoting staff wellbeing.

Hunter-Paul further emphasised the programme’s broader impact, noting that it is part of a series of staff wellbeing activities being delivered by coeo UK. Leveraging a partnership with Health Assured, the programme provides staff with access to detailed information and professional support, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all wellbeing areas addressed in the workshops. Additionally, a portion of the programme will be delivered off-site, enabling broader participation and engagement among staff member groups or sports teams.

Anson reiterated the transformative potential of investing in wellbeing initiatives, citing their positive impact on productivity, customer engagement, and overall success. He underscored the ethical importance of prioritising employee welfare, particularly in an environment marked by increasing regulation and scrutiny. With the launch of its comprehensive staff wellbeing programme, coeo UK sets a new standard in fostering a healthy and supportive workplace culture, reaffirming its commitment to empowering its workforce.
