The Be Well Programme

The Be Well Programme is a South African based network for health and wellness development comprising participating large organisations, wellness providers and individuals. It is an integrated quality of life programme that promotes wellness awareness, education and social interaction for many different stakeholders in a trusted, secure sosial network. Be Well Programme is a positive deviation away from an unhealthy lifestyle towards optimal human functioning in order to promote, develop and inspire South Africans to live their best possible life.

Individual Participants

We know that chronic lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease have massive health care cost implications. In fact, losing weight, being more active, not smoking and following a healthy diet can save you up to 70% of your health care costs alone. Many Be Well participants find it beneficial to start their individualised wellness programme by networking on the only wellness website of its kind, www.bewell.org.za. Participants create their own profile pages, invite friends and interact with wellness providers, such as dieticians, health spas, lifestyle coaches or fitness studios. Combining social interaction with a wellness programme has a compounding effect. Our research proves that if someone enrols in a weight loss programme alone, there is a 25% chance that they will maintain the weight loss after 10 months. But if they do the same programme with three friends, the odds of maintaining the weight loss increase up to 66%. Be Well has pioneered an innovative behaviour change approach that offers participants and wellness providers the ideal opportunity to reach optimal results.

Wellness Providers

Health care and wellness providers form a key cornerstone of the Be Well Programme. Wellness businesses create their own profile pages, market services and products, and efficiently interact (blog) with individual participants. Listed wellness providers not only gain greater revenue and market exposure in association with the Be Well Programme but find it very useful and cost effective as a client relationship management system. Our website uses wellness provider details to offer relevant information to participants who are interested and need specific wellness products and services.

Employers

As social media and wellness go mainstream, organisations have begun to harness the power of connectivity and social support to drive participation, long-term engagement and positive outcomes for employee wellness programmes. Many employer groups enrol their employees to partake in the national Be Well Programme which is not only free for employees but very functional for corporate wellness programme management. Employees invite friends, join groups, and participate in events that make lifestyle changes fun while the Programme engages several virtual and geographical communities. Employer groups or Wellness Managers regularly attend our Workplace Wellness Training, request assistance with the calculation of Return on Investment (ROI) and get their wellness programmes evaluated. We have seen workplace wellness programmes grow in popularity because of reductions in health care costs and the savings resulting from reduced absenteeism as well as the increased morale and productivity that are gained.
