Project Objective
The primary objective of the workshops conducted for Abraham Moon & Sons was to introduce and promote the Five Ways to Wellbeing, aiming to enhance overall self-care and mental health awareness among their employees.
As part of Self Care Month, these workshops were designed to equip participants with practical strategies to integrate wellbeing practices into their daily lives, fostering a healthier, happier, more engaged, and resilient workforce.
Our Process
Our approach to delivering the workshops was comprehensive and interactive.
We began with a thorough understanding of the specific needs and challenges faced by the employees at Abraham Moon & Sons. This was achieved through preliminary discussions with the management team.
The workshops were structured around the Five Ways to Wellbeing framework – Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, and Give.
To deliver this:
- Interactive presentations: Two informative and engaging presentations to introduce each of the Five Ways to Wellbeing.
- Group activities: Interactive activities and group discussions to encourage participation and practical application of the concepts.
- Personal reflection: Time for personal reflection and sharing to help participants internalise the strategies discussed.
- Resource provision: Providing resources and materials for continued practice beyond the workshops.
Project Outcomes
The outcomes of the workshops were really positive, reflecting both immediate and long-term benefits for the employees of Abraham Moon & Sons.
Key outcomes included:
- Increased awareness: Enhanced understanding and awareness of the importance of self-care and mental wellbeing among participants.
- Practical tools: Employees gained practical tools and strategies to incorporate the Five Ways to Wellbeing into their daily routines.
- Positive feedback: Really positive feedback from participants, highlighting the engaging and valuable nature of the workshops.
- Sustained engagement: Encouragement of a culture of wellbeing within the organisation, with participants expressing a commitment to continue practising the strategies learned.
These outcomes demonstrate the effectiveness of the workshops and Abraham Moon & Sons’ commitment to fostering a supportive environment that prioritises mental health and wellbeing, contributing to the overall success and resilience of their organisation.
