Introduction

At The Workplace Health Coach Group, we are passionate about creating engaging, impactful, and sustainable workplace wellbeing initiatives. Our partnership with Skanska during their Wellbeing Week demonstrated how our tailored approach can inspire teams, foster meaningful conversations, and create lasting health improvements. This case study explores how we delivered a Heart Health drop-in session that left a significant impact on Skanska's employees and their client.

The Challenge

Skanska, a global leader in construction and project development, sought to provide an engaging and educational health experience for their employees during their Wellbeing Week. They wanted an initiative that not only raised awareness about heart health but also encouraged positive lifestyle changes. The challenge was to deliver a programme that was interactive, inclusive, and memorable while meeting the diverse needs of their workforce.

Our Approach

We collaborated closely with Skanska’s leadership team to design and implement a bespoke Heart Health drop-in session. Drawing on our expertise in workplace health and wellbeing, we aimed to make heart health relatable and achievable for everyone.

Key elements of our approach included:

Engaging and Informative Sessions: We created a welcoming environment where employees could learn about heart health in an approachable and enjoyable way. Sessions focused on small, actionable lifestyle changes that could have a significant impact on overall health.

Interactive Activities: We provided thought-provoking activities that encouraged participants to delve deeper into understanding their heart and body health. These included practical demonstrations, health tips, and fun, hands-on exercises designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and confidence to take control of their wellbeing.

Relatable Communication: Colin, our founder, delivered sessions with an emphasis on making health improvement enjoyable and realistic. By focusing on small, manageable changes rather than drastic overhauls, employees felt encouraged to make sustainable improvements.

Employee and Client Engagement: Beyond Skanska’s internal teams, the sessions also resonated with their client, showcasing Skanska’s commitment to fostering a culture of care and wellbeing.

The Result

The impact of the Heart Health drop-in session was overwhelmingly positive. Skanska employees shared how much they enjoyed the interactive and practical nature of the activities. Many reported feeling more empowered to make health-conscious choices and appreciated the emphasis on small changes.

Feedback from Skanska included:

“The sessions were engaging, and Colin was great at bringing people together to look at their overall health in an informative, yet fun way.”

“Colin’s approach when talking to people throughout the day was that improving health can be done through small changes instead of huge, drastic ones and that life is still meant to be enjoyed.”

“My team has already informed me that they would love Colin to come back for our next Wellbeing week as they enjoyed his sessions and want to see how their health can improve next time.”This feedback highlighted how our services not only benefited Skanska’s workforce but also left a lasting impression on their client.

Our Response

We were thrilled to hear how much Skanska’s employees and client enjoyed the sessions. At The Workplace Health Coach Group, our goal is to inspire and empower individuals to prioritise their health in a way that feels achievable and enjoyable. We’re excited to work with Skanska again in the future to build on this success and introduce new initiatives that continue to benefit their teams.

Why It Worked

Our approach combined:

Personalised Expertise: By tailoring the sessions to Skanska’s needs, we ensured maximum relevance and engagement.

Interactive Learning: Activities were hands-on and practical, making heart health education relatable.

Sustainable Change: Emphasising small, realistic steps made improving health feel attainable for everyone.

Looking Ahead

Skanska’s Wellbeing Week was a testament to the power of a proactive and engaging approach to workplace health. As Colin and the team prepare for future collaborations, we’re committed to expanding the programme to include even more tailored health and wellbeing initiatives.
