OBJECTIVES WHAT DO WE WANT THIS TO ACHIEVE? We want to help people leaders and bank staff - to be at their best and be present at work We want to increase levels of energy & wellbeing in the organisation and, in doing so, ensure our people are engaged in order to deliver on our customer promise And we want energy and wellbeing to become part of our DNA not an initiative but just something we do and think about every day In doing so we ll build resilience across the bank and better equip our people to handle on-going change in the business But we want to do it in a way that is a pragmatic and planned to ensure we create something that has longevity
BUT WHY BOTHER? Higher Productivity Reduced Sickness Improved Retention Improved Brand Higher Commitment Improved Resilience
STAFF WANT OUR SUPPORT 85% of UK workers say their employer has a responsibility to look after their health and wellbeing Over three quarters (78%) of employees said they would welcome their employer giving them support to think about their health and wellbeing 63% of employees think their work life may be having a negative impact on their health and wellbeing Almost two thirds (60%) of workers would feel more productive if they felt happy and well at work, while over half (55%) admitted they would be more focused. Three in five (58%) workers would be encouraged to think more about their health and wellbeing if their employer provided them with digital technology to help them to do this. 57% of employees said they would feel more motivated to achieve health and wellness goals if they could team up with colleagues Source : Bupa, January 2015

WE VE RECEIVED GREAT FEEDBACK & IDEAS I really admire what AIB is trying to do with the well initiative. I think too often large corporations pay lip service to employee health and wellbeing with no real investment being made. Let me start by saying that this is a wonderful idea! My colleagues have on many occasions queried whether it would be possible for AIB to run lunchtime mindfulness classes? My pal works in PWC they bring in a unit once a year to give the flu injection to anyone that wants it. Another great idea to save on sickness. I think that it would be fantastic if Bankcentre and other AIB locations could organise something like slimming classes. Staff will help and support each other in reaching their goals, and it will help staff to make new friends also. It's really great to see the launch of AIB's wellness initiative. I think it recognises the tough times faced by staff over the last number of years and the need for positive energy and renewal as the bank moves forward. A suggestion to reach all the facets of "the well" would be to revamp the restaurant menu. I think it would be great for staff to have a gym facility within Bankcentre or at least an exercise room where people could bring their own mats and gentle equipment to work out before/after work or at lunchtime
SO WHAT S NEXT? An upgraded well site with more frequently updated content, ability for staff to comment on and share articles; and the option to view content outside the office Couch to 5k programme using staff around the country to lead groups Bank-wide step challenge Health, Energy and wellbeing seminar series through the year And more..
THANK YOU
