Working closely with Health Shield, as their digital marketing agency, Prodo values health and wellbeing in the workplace and continues to look for ways to expand and improve their employee wellbeing strategy.
Follow these quick links to find out how Breeze helped Prodo:Studies have shown that only 44% of UK employers have a comprehensive wellbeing strategy and less than 10% of employers actively measure return on investment (ROI). A wellbeing strategy is about investing the time and resources to ensure your workforce is supported, rather than simply providing minor perks such as free fruit. In fact, it’s been reported that almost 40% of employers plan to focus on ‘access to treatment’ looking forward, ignoring the fact it was ranked ‘least important’ 12 months ago.
That’s why we launched Breeze, to help employers support health and wellbeing in the workplace, providing employees with benefits they actually want, without having to invest large amounts of time, effort and money.
Why did Prodo need Breeze?
Due to the world-wide restrictions as a result of COVID-19, the Prodo workforce were required to work from home to stay in accordance with Government rules. This presented challenges for continuing Prodo’s wellbeing services virtually and ensuring all employees felt supported. That’s where Breeze came in. 
What has engagement been like?
By introducing Breeze, it’s allowed Prodo employees to think more personally about their own mental health journey and recognise the areas they need support with.
“Introducing Breeze into our employee wellbeing strategy has been great, particularly at a time when people are having to cope with huge changes to their personal and professional lives and are coming under strain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.”- Pippa Adams (CEO at Prodo)
While individual employee records are completely confidential in Breeze, as the employer you will receive overall data of the areas your staff feel they need extra support with**. Since launch, 81% of Prodo employees have registered to use the platform.
“Providing employees with a safe space to confidentially record the progress of their mental health and wellbeing empowers them to assess their own needs and have access to health professionals for further guidance. The insights for the leadership team are very helpful and allows us to tailor our wellbeing strategy to the current needs of the team, so we can have a plan of action for improvements based on evidence.”
- Pippa Adams (CEO at Prodo)
Prodo has noticed the topics that have proved the most engaging are exercise, healthy eating and mindfulness.
