When I received my job offer from the Havas Lynx Group, I was sent a new starter pack that had the employee handbook inside. I was amazed to read about all the different benefits on offer – from Office Dog Fridays to Wellness Wednesdays. After reading through all of the benefits I was so eager to get involved, especially in all of the wellness initiatives, including football and yoga. Any nerves I had from starting a new job were completely overridden by how welcoming everyone was – and it was a really good way to meet people!

The Havas Lynx Group are determined to make wellness a part of their employees everyday life, because they want everyone to feel good at work (even on a Monday!). Each team has a Wellness Champion and I’m lucky enough to be one. We keep our teams up-to-date on the support and activities on offer, drive company-wide initiatives and we are easily accessible for our teammates to talk to if they have any wellness suggestions. The range of benefits offered is incredible. Over the last 6 months we’ve had wellness workshops, meditation sessions, massages, physio pilates and celebrated a number of world wellness days including National Stress Awareness Day and World Mental Health Day.

Even in January, when there’s always talk of attempting to lead a healthier lifestyle, the Havas Lynx Group really try to support everyone; from Winter Mondays (an initiative encouraging a 10am start throughout January and February), to beginning each week with a Monday morning breakfast club. There are also herb gardens available in the kitchen alongside healthy snacks such as seeds and superfoods. Last week we even had Dr. Colin Robertson deliver a talk on nutrition and sleep.

So whether you’re adding a spoonful of chia seeds to your morning oats, snacking on some fruit or garnishing your spaghetti bolognese with some home-grown basil, there are plenty of options to boost your energy, mood and health.
