Employers & Decision Makers on
Wellness In The Community &
Workplace.
In a world that seems to get faster and faster employees rarely find the time to give their health and wellbeing the focus it deserves. Unsupported,
the workforce can often struggle to maintain optimum health as they juggle the commitments of modern life.
Predictably, and without positive action, poor health leads to a decline in the performance of any organization at many levels.
In 2006, 175 million working days were lost through sickness absence in the UK – 3.3% of total working time – costing the economy £13.4bn, or
£537 per employee.

health.
The Community Wellness Club meetings give their members the opportunity to receive regular guidance and inspiration from like minded people that have decided to make
their health a priority.
Why form a Community Wellness Club?

Will This Concept Work For You?Customer Club/Class Concept
• Over the last few years the club concept has been a driving force in Mexico and South America. Other countries have successfully adjusted the model and also created amazing results.
• As we looked for a platform we could implement in the UK and Ireland we started to observe the weight loss classes run by other companies and started to realise that with a little fine tuning this format would be perfect!
• The customer club/class concept is already hugely successful in the Uk and Ireland and has proven itself to be an excellent social platform to teach and train on everything Herbalife stands for!
