“Art is something that makes you breathe with a different kind of happiness.” Anni Albers Workplace wellbeing is a huge challenge facing employers:
•Work-related stress, anxiety and depression account for over half of all working days lost due to ill health in Britain. •Around £1.7b is lost in output and productivity (by employees in WM region) as a direct result of poor workplace wellbeing. (Thrive, WMCA)
We support workplace health & wellbeing through mindful engagement with art.
•Making art can create a happier, more productive workforce. •Evidence suggests that organisations investing in employee health and wellbeing will see financial benefits (reduced sickness absence, lower staff turnover, better productivity and job satisfaction).
As educators with executive management experience, we understand management challenges and tailor practical solutions for the workplace, in the workplace.
Did you know that just 45 minutes of making art can reduce cortisol (stress hormone) thus reducing stress/anxiety?
“Being creative through art, even just for an hour a week on a regular basis, can help you to focus and create a sense of wellbeing, helping you perform better both in and out of work.” LT, Trading Analyst
