Hospitality is an industry built around caring for others. From creating memorable dining experiences to making guests feel welcome, it’s at the heart of what restaurants, cafés and catering businesses do every day.
But between serving customers, managing a business and supporting a team, finding time for your own wellbeing can easily fall to the bottom of the list.
For many owners and their employees, long hours, demanding schedules and the everyday pressures of running a venue make prioritising personal health a real challenge.
So, how can hospitality businesses make it easier for the people behind the experience to look after themselves?
Supporting wellbeing doesn’t have to mean introducing an elaborate workplace program or adding another responsibility to an already busy schedule.
Often, it’s about giving people more opportunities to prioritise their health in ways that suit their individual needs, interests and lifestyles.
For one person, that might mean getting back into a fitness routine. For another, it could be accessing mental health support, making healthier food choices or finding ways to relax and recharge outside work.
For businesses, offering these options is one way to show employees they’re valued, while building a healthier, more resilient team.
Restaurant & Catering Australia has partnered with WHEREFIT to bring health, fitness and wellbeing benefits to members and their teams.
WHEREFIT is a wellbeing benefits platform that gives employees access to thousands of offers across gym memberships, recovery services, healthy meals, mental health support, health insurance, activewear and more. Members can provide this to their teams at a special member rate.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, WHEREFIT gives employees the freedom to redeem the offers that best suit their goals and interests. That could be a discounted gym membership with F45 or Anytime Fitness, activewear from adidas or THE ICONIC, healthy meals from HelloFresh or mental health support through BetterHelp.
And with WHEREFIT managing the platform and its network of offers, you can introduce a meaningful benefit without adding to your workload.
