Lucy has been our guide to wellness, sharing her wisdom and tips on personal and workplace wellbeing in PA Life magazine’s regular wellness column for more than two years now. Here Lucy brings us an insider’s look at one organisation’s annual ‘Wellness Week’ — a week-long festival of wellbeing, if you will. “Crafting an entire week of wellness is a dream come true,” Lucy says, her enthusiasm infectious. “We get to positively impact people in the organisation by providing a range of immersive experiences they can participate in, either in-person or online.”

The mission of the Wellbeing Week at Work

Our mission was to create a week-long Wellness Week for a global organisation, complete with a wellness area for over 1000 guests for in-person and online social events. The goal of the week was to focus on employee wellbeing and foster connections in a rapidly growing and evolving work environment.

The strategy

Lucy and her team designed a range of sessions which are influenced by the four elements and provide a diverse selection of engaging experiences from various cultures. The lineup included an earth-inspired Kokedama workshop, a water-themed sound bath, a fire-focused art class, and an air-oriented breathwork session. For the grand social event, they conceptualised a ‘Growth Tree’ – a symbol of the organisation’s growth, with leaves designed by the employees, representing their role in the company’s prosperity. This collaborative artwork, created in the heart of nature, was then displayed for all to see at their HQ. Year two saw a fresh set of sessions, from a ‘Pillow Talk’ for better sleep, to a macrame rainbow workshop for those dreary days. These sessions encouraged each participant to pause, reflect and simply be, leaving them feeling calmer, less overwhelmed and more connected.

The impact of the Wellbeing Week at Work

The client had this to say after their Wellness Week: “Lucy was indispensable to our Wellness Week programme. She created a bespoke programme of wellbeing events matching our brief and made excellent suggestions where we could enhance our wellbeing program beyond what we thought possible. These were high-end, quality sessions that were very enjoyable for all. It’s a must for us to host this every year moving forward.” The magic of crafting these moments for yourself and your organisation is truly rewarding.
