World Wellbeing Week: Bedfont® Scientific Limited Highlights Leveraging ongoing investment in employee wellbeing

With well-being in its culture, Bedfont® leads by example in this World Wellbeing Week.

World Wellbeing Week is a global awareness event recognized annually in the last week of June. Launched in 2019 by Wellbeing World, the event promotes physical, mental, emotional, social and environmental wellbeing in workplaces, communities and homes. Bedfont® Scientific Limited, a medical breath analysis company, actively promotes workplace wellness and welcomes this year's world to the world.

With an estimated 776,000 UK workers suffering from work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2023/24, companies must do better to ensure employee wellbeing. Bedfont® has a dedicated team of Wellbeing Warriors who work tirelessly to ensure a healthy work/life balance for all employees. Various activities and events take place throughout the year for employees, such as healthy breakfasts and lunches, stress-busting activities, active challenges and weekly walks designed to encourage employees to step away from their desks and take a break.

Workplace well-being is not only a moral responsibility, but also a strategic driver of performance and culture. Employees who feel supported, healthy and valued are more engaged, motivated and resilient. However, the true impact of a wellbeing initiative depends on leadership. When the senior management team actively supports and champions wellness, it sends a powerful message. This commitment filters through every level of the organization, creating a culture where care, productivity and purpose thrive together. “

Bedfont's dedicated Wellbeing Garden, which opened in 2023, provides employees with a quiet space to take time, relax and reflect. The Charity Room is another space for employees to take time out, play games, or use the Red Light Therapy Machine and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) device. Red light therapy and PEMF therapy support well-being by supporting cellular function, reducing inflammation and promoting relaxation, recovery and overall energy balance.

“At Bedfont®, well-being is more than a policy, it is a daily priority.” Said Jason Smith, CEO at Bedfont®. "We really care about how our people feel and that's why we've introduced things like red light and PEMF therapy, wellbeing and flexible working options. When our team feels supported and balanced, they can perform at their best, individually and collectively."

Earlier this month, in the latest team building event, the Bedfont® office was closed for the afternoon and employees were treated to various activities and relaxation at St. Andrews Lake. This is just one of many initiatives arranged by the Wellbeing Warriors, providing much-needed wellbeing support to employees.

By embedding wellbeing into its culture and daily operations, Bedfont® has seen the positive impact, and other organizations can benefit from a similar approach.
