Chambers Wales' Wellbeing Walk

Chambers
Wales is hosting a virtual Wellbeing Walk event to promote the importance of
employee wellbeing and exercise.

The
Wellbeing Walk will take place between 14:00-17:00 on Friday 14 May and
participants are encouraged to walk one mile, or more if they choose.

Employee
wellbeing is at the forefront of many business’ plans after such a stressful
year, and with so many working from home, it is easy to neglect.

According
to Westfield Health’s Coping with Covid report, 320,000 UK businesses have
wellbeing strategies that are not being fulfilled, despite the fact that there
is a direct correlation between employee wellbeing and productivity.

Various
studies indicate that happier, more engaged people have higher levels of
performance; put simply, happier workers work better. The link between
wellbeing and productivity also reaps massive economic benefits, with £61bn
potentially being added to the economy by increased productivity if wellbeing
spend is maximised.

Chamber
Wales is calling for businesses to encourage their workers to get out from
behind their desks and enjoy the fresh air, whilst reaping all the benefits of
exercise on both their physical and mental health, along with the economic and
business benefits.

They
are encouraging participants to take a ‘healthy selfie’ whilst on their walk
and share it via socials with the hashtag  #WalesWellbeingWalk.

Employee
wellness is more important than ever, and the benefits it entails for employees
and employers cannot be ignored. After a long year of isolated working from
home,  this Wellness Walk is a great
opportunity for businesses across the country to gather their team and make a
start towards improving wellbeing.
