Build wellbeing into the workday.
Help your people feel and function better at work.
Getting through the day isn’t the same as functioning well. 6-Minute Wellness provides practical, evidence-informed strategies that help people manage stress and tension, reset their focus, and feel and function better at work.
What you need changes throughout the workday. Your response can too.
There isn’t one strategy for every moment. 6-Minute Wellness helps people recognise what they need and choose a response that fits: movement, breathing, a mental reset, relief from screen work, or a moment to regroup.
The goal is not to add more to a busy day. It is to make small, useful actions realistic — helping people manage stress and tension, reset focus and feel and function at their best.
Small breaks can make a difference.
University of Queensland research links sitting less, moving more and purposeful microbreaks with better health, energy and motivation at work.
From knowing what helps to actually using it.
Strategies are more useful when people understand why they work, recognise when they need one and know how to use them at work.
UNDERSTAND
Learn how common work demands affect people, and enough science to understand why different strategies can help.
AWARENESS
Notice what’s happening and recognise what you might need.
RESPOND
Choose a brief, practical strategy that fits the need and the moment.
INTEGRATE
Build small actions into work: between tasks, before focused work or at the start of a meeting.
We help make wellbeing part of the way you work.
From a single workshop or keynote to an ongoing wellbeing program, 6-Minute Wellness helps organisations bring practical wellbeing into the working day in ways that fit their people and workplace.
We also work alongside People & Culture, WHS and workplace leaders to help teams introduce and reinforce useful wellbeing behaviours in meetings, transitions and other natural points in the workday.
