Corporate Wellness

Very often people pay attention to their health only after it becomes compromised. We hear all the time that prevention is better than trying to cure. Unfortunately, only proactive people take the preventative measures. Hence the ever-expanding health industry.When looking at corporate wellness, there should be no difference. The smarter more proactive ones, look at preventative corporate wellness measures and reap the benefits of a healthy workforce, while the remainder saves on the small cost of wellness programs and waits for the much larger costs of absenteeism, staff turnover, and worsening employee engagement figures of an unwell and dissatisfied workforce, to mount up.A supportive work environment helps to increase the wellbeing of the workforce and the wellbeing of the company.Many people would typically describe a good state of health as the smooth functioning of the body.Sufficient rest, a balanced diet, enough water and adequate exercise are known to be the foundation of health since time memorial. But what about our inner world? The quality of our emotions, of our thoughts, is a game changer when it comes to health and wellbeing.The connection between body, mind, and emotions is still neglected by many. Dissatisfaction with work, stress caused by deadlines, sales targets, weak management may lead to psychosomatic illnesses. Tension headaches, pains in the neck, stomach ulcers, etc. are only some of the physical symptoms observable.Antoinette aims to help raise awareness about the connection between emotions and health - for example, the pain in the neck would be an invitation to ask, " Who is the pain in the neck?". The idea here is to share tools with our coaching community to help clients remain calmer, more centred in stressful situations, and therefore become better communicators and establish high-quality relationships.For Antoinette, physical issues are always an invitation to look deeper to see what is going on an emotional level. Our language hints out often too what is going on for us. If someone is livid, we understand that this person is angry, and anger relates to the liver. Being constantly angry may lead over time not only to a steady stream of outbursts but also to problems with the liver.Wellness is of course not exclusive to our physical health; it encompasses ideally other aspects too, such as a stable financial situation or a well-established social circle.Ideally, a coach will examine the various aspects together with the client to see where there is a need for change.
