Improve the wellbeing of your employees by providing the right information and fostering an open, supportive culture.
Holistic Services Group offers a range of corporate health services, including:
- Women’s Health seminars and workshops
- Men’s health seminars and workshops
- Individual mini-consultations and health assessments
We customise these seminars to suit your workplace and staff demographic.
The cost of an unhealthy workforce is borne by your company in several ways:
- Employees with weak immune systems are more susceptible to colds and flus, taking more sick days and lacking productivity when they’re sick at work
- Employees with ongoing poor health and fitness levels are less focused, less agile and less efficient
- Employees who succumb to major or ongoing illness need to be temporarily or permanently replaced, which incurs the cost of recruitment, training and lost productivity
- Presenteeism from ongoing health issues
Our seminars and workshops are facilitated by qualified Naturopaths and other professionals who use a wealth of clinical expertise and incorporate specialised holistic healthcare knowledge to address the wellness challenges faced by today’s workers.
Women’s Health Seminars / Workshops
While issues such as heart disease and obesity are common to both men and women, there are many topics that are specific to each gender, and therefore we’ve found it can be more productive to run separate health seminars/workshops for men and women.
Another benefit is that participants feel more comfortable asking questions that they might be too embarrassed to ask in a mixed gender environment.
Topics can include:
- What is a healthy lifestyle?
- Preventive screenings, eating well, and exercising
- Impact of hormones on your health
- Stress and managing family priorities
- Healthy heart tips
- Cancers affecting women
- Emotional and mental wellbeing and importance of social networks
- Weight loss myths and dieting
- Sleep and fatigue
- Health resources
We can structure a Women’s Health Seminar or workshop to suit your needs. It can be a full-day seminar, half-day seminar or just one hour long. A series of 1 hour “Lunch and Learn” sessions is also a popular option.
“Secret Men’s Business” – Men’s Health Seminars / Workshops
Our men’s health seminars will help your male staff take responsibility and start viewing their health as an important life issue. We aim to focus their attention on what they can do to safeguard their physical and mental wellbeing.
Topics can include:
- What is a healthy lifestyle?
- Preventive screenings, eating well, and exercising
- Healthy heart tips
- Cancers affecting men
- Emotional and mental wellness and importance of social networks
- Weight loss myths and dieting
- Sleep and fatigue
- Health resources
The Business Case for Running Health Seminars and Wellbeing Programs
It costs tens of thousands of dollars to replace an employee that has been with the company for many years. The cost includes not only recruitment and training costs, but also lost productivity and loss of corporate memory. According to recent surveys, staff turnover costs are 150% of their annual salary, and it takes 20 weeks on average for new employees to become fully productive! This is why leading companies have realised the importance of investing in keeping their staff healthy and fit.
The return on investment is highest for your senior staff, but it’s especially high for men in senior positions because men are more likely to ignore their health issues and their overall wellness. Men tend not to research wellness issues for themselves and therefore, information given at work has a good chance of being heard for the first time.
Some men’s health statistics:
- More than five men die prematurely each hour in Australia from potentially preventable conditions
- Every year more than 470,000 years of life are lost because men die prematurely – from heart disease, cancer, accidents, suicide, alcoholism, obesity and smoking
- The suicide rate is four times higher for men than women
- Nearly two thirds of men are overweight – increasing their chances of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer.
Individual Mini-consultations and Health Assessments
We are also able to offer your employees one-on-one mini health consultations with our fully qualified Naturopaths. Non-invasive assessment techniques are used including iridology, tongue and nail diagnosis, nutrition and diet to compile individual profiles and provide advice.
These mini consultations are often done in conjunction with our Health Expo.
