QWellness creates positivity, productivity and happiness

 

Workplace wellbeing qwellness

At The Q Café Company we believe that every great workplace deserves QWellness creating: positivity, productivity and happiness

National Workplace Wellbeing Day was a resounding hit across The Q Café Company.  A promotional day, organised by the Nutrition and Health Foundation and Ibec, brought workplace wellbeing to the fore.

We showcased our QWellness programme, encouraging wellbeing among all our customers. Balanced, nutritional and tasty food is our main priority in The Q Café Company. Through QWellness we educate the customer in what they can eat as opposed to what they cannot eat.

Healthy, balanced snacks

On March 27th we expanded QWellness from three test sites to all our sites with great success. We rolled out healthy balanced snacks from Irish artisan producers such as Paleo Man Foods, Dr Coys Health Foods Company, and many more. All wellbeing orientated food was identified with our QWellness logo, helping our customers to make informed choices about a balanced enjoyable life.

In order to guide our customers away from fad diets and extreme ‘health & fitness’ regimes we put together 20 free hampers containing products solely based upon happiness and wellbeing. The hampers contained a range of fantastic goodies including, homemade Q Café Company granola & energy balls, personal training vouchers, discount vouchers for a beautiful family run bike shop in Dublin, fantastic vouchers for the Himalayan Yoga Centre in Cork, beautiful hand crafted natural soaps, fish oil supplements, liquid gold skin oil, and many more!

Wow! Our customers were delighted with the opportunity to win a hamper in each of our sites. We even ran two online competitions through our Facebook page. All at head office were very jealous of each winner and all their lovely goodies.

In addition, the delightful Dr Coys Health Foods provided a free sampling in one of our Dublin sites. Their nutritional chocolate bars, chocolate covered almonds and chocolate covered cherries were an instant hit. Dr Coys chocolate is nutritional! Can you believe it? Gluten free, added vitamin E and it does not cause any sugar spikes. Wow! We are only too happy to provide healthy chocolate to our customers.

Nutritional food, wellbeing workshops

Not only does QWellness focus on nutritional food, we also provide wellbeing workshops! Our Relaxation and Reducing Stress in the Workplace was a great success! Customers gathered for the workshop with Leah Moore, Wellbeing Coach. It was all about meditation, mindfulness, acceptance and acknowledgement of stress. In addition Leah highlighted useful desk stretches and breathing patterns to relieve tension!

All in all, National Workplace Wellbeing Day was a fantastic opportunity to promote QWellness through wellbeing and happiness to all our customers. We gained great insight from the speakers at the associated conference in Croke Park on March 27th.  At the conference organised by the Nutrition and Health Foundation and Ibec we met many representatives from great companies that put Workplace Wellness to the front of their business. The tide is changing and companies like The Q Café Company are putting happiness, health and enjoyment as a core tenet of their business ethos.
