The company health day, sometimes called Safety Day or SST Day, is an important date for well-being at work. Find out why you should organise a health day and what activities really work.
Why organise a company health day?
Today, health in the workplace has become a real priority for companies for a number of reasons.
The challenges of well-being in the workplace
Every day in France, work-related accidents and illnesses occur, with considerable human and financial consequences. At the same time, chronic stress weighs heavily on the workplace (absenteeism, lower productivity, medical costs).
What's more, since the Covid-19 pandemic, the physical and mental health of workers is more than ever at the heart of concerns. It is now essential to ensure healthy and safe working conditions for all employees.
Indeed, the prevention of psychosocial risks, quality of life at work and health and safety at work are now priority areas for any responsible employer. A day dedicated to these themes is a concrete opportunity to take action and raise awareness among all teams.
Benefits for employees and the company
A company that takes care of its employees reaps many benefits:
- For employees: motivation and satisfaction increase, stress decreases, commitment increases and the quality of life at work improves significantly.
- For the company: less absenteeism, lower staff turnover, greater productivity and a stronger internal culture.
Promoting well-being at work is therefore a win-win investment in the long term for both the employee and the organisation.
The best activities and workshops for an original company health day
For a health day to be memorable and effective, you need to plan varied, fun and relevant activities. Here are a few ideas for original workshops to include in your programme, depending on your needs and your teams.
Physical well-being workshops
These workshops are an accessible first approach to improving physical health and reducing work-related stress.
Team sports
Group sports sessions(company yoga, pilates, mini-tournaments between colleagues) improve physical fitness and team cohesion. These sporting activities also help to relieve stress and improve employees' physical health. To take things a step further, outdoor activities allow you to enjoy the benefits of nature on the health and morale of your teams.
Sophrology workshop and blindfold sensory workshop
An introduction to sophrology teaches participants effective breathing and relaxation techniques to help them cope better with day-to-day work pressures. Similarly, a blindfolded naturopathy and sophrology sensory workshop stimulates the other senses, enhances concentration and offers a fun and original experience that will leave a lasting impression.
A unique well-being workshop
Thehypnorelaxation and sound bath session combines gentle hypnosis and sound vibrations for a deeply relaxing experience. It's an innovative wellbeing practice.
Mental well-being and cohesion workshops
Beyond the body, we need to take action on mental health, which is often put to the test in the workplace.
A fun workshop on mental health
Interactive games and activities can be used to take the heat out of issues such as stress and burnout. This friendly format gets people talking, encourages dialogue and raises awareness of psychosocial risks without moralizing. An effective and positive prevention tool.
