Why Lunch and Learn Sessions?

Lunch and learn seminars

Companies with healthy employees have a definite business advantage over their competition. The concept is easy. How to implement improved wellness within a company can be a challenge faced by your Wellness committee whenever they meet to discuss Health and Safety training and implementation. A Challenge How can your Health and Safety Committee inform employees about healthy habits so that they can perform with energy and enthusiasm at work? How can you attract employees who struggle with wellness issues and workplace stress as well as those who are already health oriented? The Solution Lunch and Learn sessions are a great way to provide workplace training and inform employees of healthy ways to work and live. Our clients tell us that employees - even employees with less than optimal

fitness levels - are attracted to a fun and fast-paced learning environment at our Lunch and Learn sessions. Lunch and Learn wellness workshops deliver stress management, nutrition, and personal development topics so your employees can implement useful life and work-skill strategies.

The Benefits

Healthy stress-free employees are more productive and happier. Research has shown a three-fold return for every dollar invested in wellness. Reduced absenteeism and increased productivity have a direct positive impact on your bottom line. Lunch and Learn sessions are a great way to promote healthy employees through workplace training.

Optional Lunch and Learn Formats

Meet your Health and Safety Committee mandate! Allow Energetic Connections to offer one-hour Lunch and Learn workplace training sessions as well as half-day wellness workshops.

One Hour Lunch and Learn Sessions These one hour Lunch and Learn workplace training sessions use a fun and fast-paced technique-based learning format. Participants are introduced to the topic and in the Lunch and Learn session, are given one or two tools that they can use to implement immediate and longer-term change in their lives. Technique-based learning can be delivered in a short timeframe with very good results. Half-day Workshops In contrast, half-day workplace training workshops use an experiential-based format. Once the topic is introduced, attendees participate in small groups to explore a variety of challenges within a fast-paced, fun, and practical learning environment. The increased time allows delivery of more health information and the chance for participants to more completely and actively digest what they learn about workplace stress and other health and safety related topics.
