Understanding the Impact of Stress in the Workplace

Stress doesn’t just affect individuals; it impacts entire teams and organisational performance. Chronic stress leads to decreased productivity, disengagement, and higher absenteeism. According to a Deloitte study, poor mental health costs UK employers up to £56 billion annually, making it clear that prioritising wellbeing isn’t just compassionate—it’s smart business.

By hosting wellbeing activities, companies create a supportive culture that helps employees feel valued. Research from the University of Warwick shows that happier employees are 12% more productive, proving the tangible benefits of investing in wellness initiatives.

Corporate Wellbeing Activities to Reduce Workplace Stress

Corporate wellbeing is no longer limited to generic initiatives like gym memberships. Today’s employees crave dynamic, engaging experiences that promote both relaxation and personal growth. HOMETAINMENT’s In Office services make it easy to bring transformative wellness experiences directly to your workplace.

Breathwork & Meditation

Stress melts away in guided breathwork and meditation workshops. These sessions teach powerful relaxation techniques, helping employees reset and cultivate calm, even on hectic days.

Mandala Drawing Workshops

Mandala drawing is a therapeutic activity that encourages mindfulness and creativity. Employees focus on intricate patterns and designs, promoting relaxation and concentration. This activity not only provides a mental break but also fosters a sense of achievement as participants create beautiful artwork.

Floristry Workshop

Indoor gardening workshops teach employees how to care for office plants or create their own mini terrariums. Caring for plants has been shown to boost mood and improve air quality, making this a rewarding activity.

Reiki Healing Sessions

Reiki workshops offer gentle energy healing that reduces tension and promotes balance. Employees leave feeling rejuvenated, aligned, and ready to tackle their tasks with clarity.

Interactive Cooking Classes

Led by our private chefs, these workshops turn the office into a culinary playground. Cooking together not only promotes healthier eating habits but also strengthens team bonds.

Sound Bath Experiences

Transform your breakout room with a tranquil sound bath workshop, using vibrations from singing bowls and gongs to relax the mind and body deeply.

Vision Board Creation

A vision board workshop helps employees set personal and professional goals through creative visualisation. Using magazines, photos, and craft supplies, participants design boards that reflect their aspirations. This activity inspires motivation and focus while giving team members an opportunity to bond over shared goals.

Crystal Energy Workshop

Explore the power of crystals in this interactive session. Employees learn about different crystals and their benefits—such as reducing anxiety or boosting focus—while creating personal crystal kits to use at home or work. This activity adds a touch of mysticism and promotes relaxation.

Candle Making

Let employees craft their own signature fragrances or scented candles. This sensory-rich activity is relaxing and provides a personalized takeaway for participants.

Paint and Sip Events

Employees unleash their inner artist while enjoying a glass of wine or a mocktail. These sip and paint sessions are excellent for reducing stress, encouraging creativity, and creating memorable artwork to display.

Goat Yoga

Goat yoga offers a lighthearted blend of exercise, stress relief, and animal therapy. Participants practice yoga poses while playful goats wander freely, providing spontaneous moments of joy and laughter. This unique activity reduces stress, boosts endorphins, and fosters mindfulness as employees stay present in the moment.

Perfect for team bonding, goat yoga encourages social interaction and creates lasting memories. It’s an accessible and relaxing way to break the routine while promoting physical and mental wellbeing. Whether hosted at a farm or a mobile setup, goat yoga is a guaranteed mood booster that energises teams and creates a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

EFT Tapping Workshops

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping combines acupressure and mindfulness to relieve stress and anxiety. Employees learn tapping sequences they can use daily, empowering them to manage emotions effectively.

Escape Room Challenges

Bring an escape room experience directly to the office! Mobile escape rooms or virtual versions test employees’ problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills. The time-sensitive challenges create excitement and strengthen collaboration among team members.

Team-Bonding Through Comedy

For teams needing a laugh, HOMETAINMENT’s comedy experts create a lighthearted atmosphere while boosting communication and morale.

Why Hosting Wellbeing Workshops Matters

Workshops that focus on employee wellbeing yield lasting benefits for both staff and organisations. Beyond immediate stress relief, these activities foster collaboration, creativity, and resilience. Employees who feel supported are more likely to stay with their company, reducing costly turnover.

Additionally, experiential workshops provide tools employees can use long after the session ends—whether it’s breathing techniques to handle stress or newfound confidence from a team cooking challenge. These benefits ripple across the workplace, creating a culture of wellbeing and high performance.

Measuring the Success of Wellbeing Initiatives

The impact of corporate wellbeing programs can be tracked through feedback surveys, reduced absenteeism, and increased engagement. HOMETAINMENT’s customised activities allow companies to tailor events to their unique culture, ensuring maximum participation and impact.
