Venturing Out CIC, in partnership with MHScot Workplace Wellbeing CIC have launched an innovative Health and Wellbeing programme aimed at offering an innovative approach to workplace wellbeing. The initiative, aptly named “Thrive and Connect,” offers organisations a unique opportunity to cultivate thriving and resilient teams through a 6-month programme of mindful wellness sessions paired with adventurous outdoor activities.
Catherine Eadie, of MHScot Workplace Wellbeing CIC highlighted her excitement for this groundbreaking partnership, saying, “Developing this programme with Venturing Out CIC reinforces the inherent connection between the mind and body, resulting in a comprehensive approach with an emphasis on prevention and early intervention that aligns with our objectives. MHScot is dedicated to promoting mental health in the workplace that feeds into all aspects of life, and this programme allows us to go even further by providing adventurous outdoor activities with insightful wellness sessions”.
Claire Mackenzie, from Venturing Out CIC, added, “Thrive and Connect brings together the perfect blend of online mindful wellness sessions and exhilarating outdoor adventures. Our aim is to provide a holistic approach to mental health and wellbeing, empowering organisations to foster winning teams and proactively address workplace wellbeing challenges.”
The Thrive and Connect programme is designed to offer a comprehensive solution for organisations seeking to enhance the mental health and wellbeing of their employees. Participants will have access to a diverse range of activities that include adventurous outdoor experiences, mindful wellness sessions, and positive psychology techniques.
Claire Mackenzie continued, “Engaging in outdoor activities through Thrive and Connect allows individuals to break away from their routine environments, step out of their comfort zones and attain a profound sense of achievement. These experiences are well-documented to deliver significant health and wellbeing benefits and, when combined with monthly wellness webinars and self-paced online learning, they create a one-of-a-kind winning formula for workplace success.”
Thrive and Connect is set to redefine workplace wellness by offering a programme that goes beyond conventional approaches. By combining the power of the great outdoors with mindfulness practices and positive psychology, this initiative aims to deliver tangible improvements in employee wellbeing, team dynamics and overall workplace satisfaction.
