Wellbeing is no longer a bonus, it is expected
Since 2020, the conversation around workplace wellbeing has changed completely. Employees are no longer satisfied with a ping-pong table and a fruit bowl. They want real support, physical, mental and emotional. And businesses that provide it are seeing the results.
At Leyabelle Clinic in Barking, we have been partnering with companies across East London to bring professional wellness treatments directly to their teams. Here are the five reasons businesses keep coming back.
1. It measurably reduces stress and absenteeism
The HSE estimates that 17.1 million working days were lost to work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2022 to 2023. That is an enormous cost in productivity and morale. Regular massage and relaxation treatments have a documented impact on cortisol levels, the primary stress hormone. Even a 15-minute chair massage during the working day creates measurable physiological change. The ROI is not abstract.
2. It improves talent retention
In a competitive hiring market, your employee value proposition matters. Candidates are comparing benefit packages more carefully than ever. Adding a quarterly wellness day or a monthly beauty treatment slot costs far less than the average cost of replacing a member of staff, which CIPD estimates at 3,000 to 4,500 pounds per hire for most roles. Wellness perks are visible, talked about and remembered.
3. It brings your team together
A wellness day is also a team event. Whether you book a series of 20-minute relaxation treatments or a full skin and beauty pop-up, the shared experience creates conversation, connection and goodwill. It works especially well for hybrid teams who do not always spend much time together in person.
4. It supports your EDI commitments
Leyabelle is one of the few clinics in East London that specialises in treatments for all skin tones. If your team is diverse, as most East London teams are, bringing in a provider who genuinely serves every employee equitably matters. Beauty and wellness should not be exclusionary. Our therapists are trained to work with every skin type and every background.
5. It is surprisingly affordable
Many business owners assume corporate wellness is only for large companies with big HR budgets. It is not. Our packages start from as little as 200 pounds for a team of ten and scale depending on frequency, team size and treatment type. We work with councils, NHS teams, small law firms, schools and everything in between. If you are a business in East London and you want to do something meaningful for your people, we will find something that works within your budget.
How to get started
The first step is a free 20-minute consultation call. No obligation, no hard sell. We talk about your team, your goals and what a realistic programme looks like for your business.
