Developing wellbeing habits and cultures of wellness 

Wellbeing is the sum of habits, environment, and experiences.

An individual's wellbeing is formed from their behaviours and choices, the people and places they spend the most time with, and when it comes to workplaces, the culture they work in.


So the traditional approach to employee wellbeing of a weekly yoga class, annual wellbeing week, or the lunch-time onsite massage, will have little impact on the overall wellbeing of employees.


That's why The Hour was founded. We believe in supporting employees to develop daily habits in four foundations of wellbeing (Mind, Body, Sleep, and Nutrition) through a cumulative 60 minutes across the day.


And, we work with employers to foster a culture of wellbeing throughout the workplace - to help embed, not hinder wellbeing in workplaces.

       For Employers

We're committed to improving the wellbeing of your employees - and we ask that you are too.

This requires a fresh approach to wellness programmes and initiatives. We'll work with you t o design wellness programmes that not only improve your people's mental and physical wellbeing, but also, their performance, engagement and happiness.

What's more, we'll insist on measuring efficacy of our work to ensure your commitment to wellbeing investment is meeting expectations and making a difference.

       For Communities

Wellbeing sits at the heart of community cohesion and belonging. Our work has evolved to supporting residential and commercial community wellbeing projects on behalf of developers, retail operators and commercial landlords.

The projects we undertake have a tangible affect on mental and physical health, engagement, and community connections.

Working closely with client teams, we measure social value, community health markers and  engagement. In 2021, our work won the Social Value Award for our project with developer Knight Dragon.

The four foundations of wellbeing 


All the yoga in the world, won’t make up for a poor diet. A well-balanced diet won’t prevent mobility issues from sedentary environments. And a calm mind is hard to achieve on four hours' sleep.

The very foundations of a person’s wellbeing lie in these four deeply interwoven areas. 

Neglect one foundation, and the others falter.

People's wellbeing is improved through supporting them to develop habits in each of these foundations. 

Movement

Workplace routines should encourage physical activity and movement 
- not inhibit.

Mind

Developing a daily practice in mindfulness is the platform to wellbeing.

Nutrition

 Food affects physical health and energy, and influences mindset.

Sleep

Sleep impacts physical and mental health - sleep is critical to wellbeing.
