David Wigley
Northants cricketer, David Wigley, has prepared for life after cricket by setting up a company in the employee health and wellbeing sector. Using their already established relationships in professional sport and corporate business (David has worked for a number of companies during his winters), David and his partner are using the positive attributes acquired through professional sport and applying it to the fast-growing area of employee wellbeing.
WellbeingSport provide services for businesses to implement their Employee Wellbeing Programmes. Research shows that companies benefit by a return of between £2.67 and £34 for every £1 spent on a wellbeing programme. This is created from a reduction in absenteeism, and ‘presenteeism' - when employees turn up to work in a disengaged, unhealthy state of mind and body. This is on top of other significant savings in recruitment costs and gains in productivity and morale levels within the business.
WellbeingSport provide education, therapies and services in the work-place for employees to benefit from. They also provide bespoke packages based at local professional sports venues to enable employees, and their wider family, to get healthy, enjoy themselves, and educate themselves on how to live a healthier lifestyle.
These services can help employees get fit for work; learn new skills; and perform under pressure. They can also be used as reward and recognition for successful departments within the company. They can reward and educate.
