COMMUNITY, AFFIRMING, AND INCLUSIVE

The Sankofa Workplace Wellness Program (SWWP) was born out of the emerging need for a new brand of wellbeing, specifically focused on mental health. Created by former corporate and organizational leaders, the SWWP represents a lived experience of being an employee needing additional support in dealing with common stresses (stress, anxiety, depression), often caused by the workplace. In addition, with the emerging shift of returning to the office, life patterns for the everyday employee are changing and being challenged.

Our team envisions a workplace where employees have the necessary tools needed to cope and heal through these common stresses - in turn, showing up refreshed & inspired for their loved ones, communities, and workplace. With extensive expertise, as well as a dedication to building well-being capacity within the community, our goal is to bring much needed balance to your workplace.

“Wellness is the complete integration of body, mind, and spirit – the realization that everything we do, think, feel, and believe has an effect on our state of well-being.”
– Greg Anderson

THE IMPORTANCE OF WORKPLACE WELLNESS

Sankofa Health’s workplace Wellness program is unique in that it was designed to directly support employee mental health. With the rise in employee daily stresses - from work, pandemic, family, etc. the demand is high as ever to address these concerns. Worldwide, employees stress climbed to 43% in 2021 – and was much higher, at 57%, in the U.S. and Canada – as reported in Gallup's State of the Global Workplace 2021 Report.

76% of respondents reported at least one symptom of a mental health condition in the past year, up from 59% in 2020 - 2021 Mental Health at Work Report

Having a structured wellness program in place for employees provides them resources, assistance, guidance, and support needed to address many concerns negatively impacting engagement and most importantly, mental health. Our program specifically places a strong emphasis on community to address those concerns and to provide employees with an inclusive and accessible experience. The program addresses the social and cultural needs of employees through inclusive offerings to include yoga, meditation, workshops/trainings and company on-site.
