The Workplace

Ready to cultivate a workplace where everyone truly flourishes?

I work alongside all companies — from the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that form the backbone of the UK economy, employing approximately 16.6 million people (60% of all private sector jobs), to the large corporations where thriving employees mean fewer sick days, better decisions, and a healthier bottom line

Regardless of size, the absence of a single employee can create a much larger ripple effect on productivity and workload for the rest of the team, making proactive mental wellbeing solutions a necessity.

The Hidden Impact: We Don't Leave Our Stresses at the Door

The challenges and emotions we face in our personal lives—anxiety about a family member, grief, financial worry, or burnout—often show up in the workplace, affecting focus, communication, and performance. Stress doesn't stay at home; it walks through your office doors every morning. And workplace stress doesn't stay in the office either, it follows us home too. 

The emotional state of one person can create a ripple effect. Trust me, I've witnessed it in my own personal and professional life! 

Unresolved tension can spread through a team in no time, dragging down morale, communication, and trust. A whole team can feel the emotional energy of one person, which can lead to arguments, reduced collaboration, and a decline in overall effectiveness. 

These hidden stresses quietly drain performance, confidence, and retention.

• Absenteeism: The annual cost of absenteeism is approximately £547 per employee - and for SMEs, that financial strain can be significant.
• Presenteeism: Poor mental and emotional health is estimated to cost UK employers £51 billion each year, with the biggest contributor being presenteeism (working while unwell). Employees lose the equivalent of 44 days of productivity on average per year due to working while unwell.

Replacing staff is expensive. Investing in employee retention through wellbeing programmes can generate a return of around £5 for every £1 invested.

The Unique Challenges 🎯

Unlike large corporations, SMEs often lack the financial resources and time to address wellbeing effectively. And many managers — in companies of all sizes — don’t feel comfortable 'acting' as therapists and often cite a lack of expertise to handle difficult conversations even if they have attended a Mental Health First Aid course!

With smaller teams, the impact of one person's emotional state is often felt by everyone, directly affecting team cohesion and collaboration.

How to Elevate Your Workplace Well-being with Cognomovement

Although you may not have heard of it, Cognomovement is a simple, non-invasive, structured movement protocol designed to rapidly reset the nervous system, giving a different perspective to the brain. It provides a practical, cost-effective way for companies to support all their employees from board level to the front-line. And because it is a "minimal-talking" and "non-invasive" solution, it is ideal for employees who may not feel comfortable opening up, or for managers who lack the training for difficult conversations.

By providing fast, emotional resets, Cognomovement helps employees:

• Feel calmer, lighter, and more cognitively focused immediately after a session.
• Resets the nervous system to release unwanted emotional stresses like anxiety, worry, fear, and overwhelm.
• Handle personal challenges without crumbling, bringing more focus, energy, and creativity to their work.

This isn't about lengthy conversations or long-term therapy. It's about creating a thriving, vibrant environment where every individual feels supported, connected, and empowered to be their best.

When employees feel supported, knowing that Cognomovement is available to them on a regular basis to simply reset unwanted emotions, they are more likely to stay with a company that provides solutions that work. By offering this type of support, you are creating a culture where employees want to come to work, rather than looking for another job. This reduces recruitment costs, increases retention, and leads to positive results across the entire organisation.
