Wellness Programmes
As we start 2024 here at PHX Ireland we are delighted to launch “Our Year of Wellness”. In 2023 we brought “Our People” EVP branding to life, focusing on driving a more authentic people centric organisational culture.
What does our Year of Wellness entail - Focusing on our “Supporting you” Pillar we are working in collaboration with our Healthcare Providers - Laya healthcare and Vhi Healthcare to provide all our colleagues with free access to talks, podcasts, information focusing on their wellbeing, as well as access to an employee assistance programme.
We were delighted to kick off this year of wellness by giving colleagues access to two financial wellbeing talks through the LAYA Healthcare portal where they heard from finance expert, Eoin McGee and learned about everyday expenses and money basics.
In addition to these financial wellbeing talks, colleagues also took part, via our VHI portal, in digital gym classes, downloaded health recipes and could attend online sessions including: The New Year Reset with Trisha Lewis, Alcohol Awareness with Dr Ui May Tan. And finally, to round off the month we welcomed Rina Whyte who delivered a masterclass on Nutrition for Busy Professionals.
Throughout the year we will be hosting events and webinars that will give our colleagues the tools they need to prioritise their wellbeing as well as in person events to celebrate successes.
When asked about this initiative, Hillary Collins MCIPD, People and Culture Director said: “Wellbeing is so important, and it is often taken for granted. People are busy in work and at home, and sometimes we allow the stress to build. That isn’t sustainable, and we believe that it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s easy to look after others and neglect yourself, but you shouldn’t have to. It’s all about access to tools and advice that resonates with you. I am delighted to get this initiative off the ground and look forward to seeing it grow through the year. “
