Why not make employee health a top company objective by holding some wellness activities during Women’s Health Week this year (2nd – 6th September 2024).
Given the essential and varied roles women undertake in their day-to-day lives, often sacrificing their own needs in the process, the spotlight on women’s mental and physical health is incredibly important.
Here are some workplace wellness ideas for you:
Present your employees with practical nutrition information and realistic strategies on ways to improve their diet.
The Biting Truth’s team of dietitians are experts in translating complex science into easy to understand messages. Host a Nutrition Webinar during Women’s health week to support your female employees in understanding how they can nourish their bodies to fuel performance and optimise energy levels.
Regular exercise can help reduce stress, enhance energy levels and employee absenteeism. Some Australian studies have revealed that almost 40% of women aren’t active enough and more than 10% are completely sedentary. Regular moderate-intensity exercise can boost estrogen levels whilst also helping increase dopamine and serotonin levels, both critical for positive mood and mental health. Why not introduce an office step challenge! Bringing out your employees’ competitive nature is a great way for the team to bond while also getting them to move around a bit more.
Healthy Eating Challenges are another great way to support the health and wellbeing of your employees in an engaging and interactive way.
The Biting Truth’s Healthy Eating Challenge is a 4-week corporate program designed to motivate your employees to improve their health by harnessing the power of good nutrition. The challenge begins with a live 45-minute nutrition webinar followed by 4 weeks of online content and weekly challenges. Employees will feel motivated especially given there are prizes to be won!
A new and exciting way to connect employees is via a cooking demonstration.
The Biting Truth cooking classes aren’t about teaching employees to become the next MasterChef. We don’t teach complicated recipes. We get employees together for a bit of fun and demonstrate how to create simple mid-week meals.

The meditative and deep breathing aspects of yoga have been proven to have a multitude of health benefits; increased energy, mental clarity and sharpened concentration.
Holding a 10-minute morning yoga session for your employees can be a calming and effective way for them to start their morning before they jump into busy day of work.
