From policy to perception

Vitality and resilience are important for sustainable employability. Health is something intimate and how an organization deals with the health of its employees is therefore personally experienced. Fostering a culture of wellness to give employees the tools and motivation they need to be successful is simply a good investment. The ROI for investing in the holistic health of employees has been proven many times over*, but how do you approach that as a company? In practice, there is sometimes a lack of time, which puts pressure on the execution and turns a great mission into a paper tiger.

Designing well-being into work

In addition to increased awareness of the importance of health (mental and physical), experiencing meaning in ones work and having a sense of belonging are also more important than ever before. This calls for a more holistic view of the overall well-being of employees. Where we used to talk about "work-life balance", it is now about "designing well-being into work". In turn, a healthy workforce correlates to a high employee engagement.

Approach and Well-being gain

Together with you, we look at where well-being gains can be achieved, in conjunction with the company mission.
What obstacles there are and what is needed to bring well-being to life on your work'floor'. Health is a
continuous process, by monitoring the results, responding flexibly to what is going on in constant dialogue
with the customer, we make well-being part of your company culture. Making health a fun thing, for healthy, enthusiastic employees are productive employees and a company that takes good care of its employees is an attractive employer.

With our 20+ years of experience in the workplace, 2blossom forms a dynamic link between policy and perception with support base creation, participation, fun, a holistic approach and optimization as spearheads.

"The Speeddate Re-Thinking Resilience gave me a lot of insight into a personal matter I had been struggling with for a long time and helped me to take the needed steps into regaining my balance. Laura is sharp, compassionate and knows how to help you find your own solution".

Virginie Wagenaar- Product Manager Reed Busines Information

The Speeddate consultation was very useful. Through a number of clear advices I can already arrange my eating pattern in a (much) healthier way. Luckily the tips are easily realisable and after a week I already notice that I have more energy during the afternoon.

Leading by example

Leaders who are passionate advocates for health and well-being and who are directly involved in fostering a culture of wellness are a critical driver of employee engagement and successes. For instance let your companies leaders share their personal testemonials of their health journey.
