In March of this year, Link Alliance introduced a series of Wellbeing workshops in partnership with Zeducation. These workshops aimed to empower employees with the knowledge and tools to enhance their personal wellbeing, make informed nutrition choices, and effectively manage stress and regulate emotions.
Out of the twenty-five individuals who completed the Wellbeing workshops, one particular success story stands out — Alipate (Alby) Hoeft, a crane and lift supervisor at Maungawhau.
After battling a smoking addiction for over twenty years, Alby finally found the strength to quit smoking, crediting his achievement to Zeducation's Wellbeing workshop. For Alby, smoking for him was a stress-reliever and he says that the Wellbeing training showed him other strategies to deal with stress. He now goes for walks and talks to his friends instead of turning to his previous two pack a day smoking habit. This shift has not only resulted in improved personal health but has also had a positive impact on his family and work life.
Alby says that ... “I’m now saving money and my life, and it’s been great for my family and work life.”
The popularity of the Wellbeing workshops conducted by The Link Alliance and Zeducation is a testament to the growing recognition of the importance of employee wellbeing. As more individuals like Alby experience transformative changes in their lives, it becomes evident that investing in employee wellbeing yields significant benefits for both employees and organisations as a whole.
“I’m now saving money and my life, and it’s been great for my family and work life.”
By prioritising the physical, mental, and emotional health of their workforce, organisations can foster a culture of wellbeing, leading to greater employee satisfaction, increased productivity, and a thriving work environment. The success achieved through the collaboration between The Link Alliance and Zeducation serves as an inspiring example for other organisations to follow suit and embrace the power of employee wellbeing.
