Help your employees build a better body image
Make your company a world leader in health and wellbeing by implementing the Embrace@Work program — the first in the world to support employees to build better body image.
High pressure corporate environments
The impact that body image can have on workers is often overlooked.
How we feel about our appearance affects our confidence and performance. If employees are over-exercising or engaging in disordered eating, their decision making, memory and emotional regulation all suffer.
Worst of all, their health and wellbeing are at risk. It’s an issue that affects all genders and all age groups, and it costs businesses, big time.
The Embrace@Work program includes:
Inspirational keynotes and panel discussions
Employee access to the Embrace@Work app for self-paced content
Group challenges to drive positive culture change
Consultations with your executive team
Analysis and advise on the change you are creating
