Most companies already spend money on wellness. Most employees still do not show up.
Balancing in Motion is a behaviour change programme built for participation, not attendance numbers nobody wants to put in a report. Structured for HR teams who need to show leadership that it is working.
Three reasons the budget stops delivering results.

what engagement looks like once a programme is built around participation, not attendance
Participation
A wellness day gets a queue at the smoothie bike and empty seats everywhere else. Structured programmes often see the same drop-off once the novelty wears off.
Measurement
Without a way to track outcomes, next year's wellness budget becomes a guess, and a hard one to defend to leadership.
Compliance
The OHS Act and SANS 45001 require employers to manage risks to mental health, not only physical safety. Most wellness spend was never built with that obligation in mind.
Workplace Wellbeing Programme
Delivered as a quarterly cycle built around one weekly onsite session, one quarterly deep-dive workshop, a wellbeing assessment at the start and end of each cycle, and a report back to HR when the quarter closes.
Content, frequency, headcount and the number of sites all vary, so the programme gets scoped per client rather than sold at a fixed monthly rate.
Healthy You Bootcamp
Structured across body, mind and nutrition, delivered on-site, online, or a mix of both. Cohorts can be mixed, male-only or female-only.
The session rate comes down as the programme gets longer, so the longer commitment carries the better rate.
Wellness Activation
The smoothie bikes, the optometrists, the chair massages: all of that still has a place. The Behaviour Reset is the part people actually take something away from. It runs 60 to 90 minutes on-site, and HR gets a short report afterwards.
Four fifteen-minute rotations, each a movement reset paired with a micro-habit.
The knowing-doing gap explained, an interactive movement segment, and a personal micro-habit commitment.
Desk pain and stress regulation, built to reach four to six employee groups in a single day.
Each participant completes a short digital lifestyle assessment before the day. They get a personal wellness picture to take home, and HR receives an anonymised report on team trends.
A gamified 30-day challenge with a daily micro-habit, a team leaderboard and weekly check-ins, so the wellness day is not the only thing anyone remembers a month later.
The Behaviour Reset is the method. This is the range it can be built from.
Any of these can be built into a programme, an activation or a one-off session. The format gets chosen to suit the room and the people in it, not the other way around.
Corporate movement sessions and talks are charged at R2,000 an hour. Workshop prices vary with the materials involved.
Corporate Wellness Calendar
Most companies buy wellness one event at a time, which is why it rarely adds up to anything. A calendar sets out twelve months in advance, one activity a month, agreed as a single commitment on a single budget line.
Each month gets filled with whatever suits it. A men's health talk in June. A creative workshop for Women's Day in August. A Behaviour Reset in October. A sound healing session to close the year in December.

Half Day Wellness Packages
Three hours, split into three parts of an hour each. Every part is customisable, and extra activities can be added on request.
Talks
Two standalone talks, one for HR leaders and wellness committees, one for a general audience. Alongside them, a Men's Series and a Women's Series, four topics each, delivered on-site or virtually.
