A Wellness Tool on the Go: LVL Wellbeing App
Wellbeing is a word that we are increasingly hearing, but not many of us know exactly what it means. In its essence, wellbeing represents the balance between physical, mental, and emotional harmony, which directly influences our happiness and life satisfaction.
At FTI Delta, we believe in the importance of prioritizing the wellbeing of our team members. That's why we've asked Alberto Pamias, a Senior Managing Director from our Dubai office, who leads our wellbeing initiatives to provide an overview of the initiatives we are currently implementing as a company.
In today's fast-paced world, especially in the consulting industry, prioritizing wellness has never been more important. Now more than ever, we need to recognize the importance of taking care of ourselves, leading a healthy life, building healthy habits, and finding satisfaction in our work.
Working in consulting can be intense due to the nature of the work, requiring extensive knowledge and very intensive time spent solving problems that help our clients grow. In addition, consultants often travel to different locations, sometimes to distant and exotic places for extended periods. Given these factors, it becomes essential to offer our consultants convenient means to enhance their wellbeing, which is where the LVL Wellbeing app comes into play.
The LVL Wellbeing app is an easy-to-use tool that provides users with tons of content with a simple click from anywhere. The app offers numerous benefits, including:
- 24-hour access to live and on-demand content, ensuring to never miss a thing.
- Flexibility to use the app on days off, during free mornings, or while traveling (on the plane or in a hotel without a gym). In short, wellbeing is not limited to a specific location or time. With the freedom to access the app from any device, employees can seamlessly fit wellness into their dynamic lifestyles, whether they are at home, in the office, or on the go.
But let's take a closer look at some of the app's functionalities:
Meditation & Mindfulness Sessions: The app includes a variety of video content to help users relax, start the day positively, focus, learn to slow down, reduce anxiety, take 5-minute desk breaks, improve time management skills, and even enjoy 60-second reboots. Most sessions are 5 to 10 minutes long and can be used throughout the workday.
Personalized workout routines: From warm-ups to body toning, HIIT, yoga, pilates, stretching, shadowboxing, hip-hop dance and even reggaeton dance. All sessions are 15-30 minutes long and can be accessed from any device, anywhere, even on vacation.
Nutritional guidance: The app offers nutrition tips to improve health, a better relationship with food, cooking classes, and an understanding of the psychology of food. The app comes with many features that allow the user to choose one or more that work for them in different situations. It's not just a daily placeholder in a busy agenda, but rather a personalized tool that's easily accessible when needed. Take Alberto for example, he uses the app to keep himself going while cycling 50km or playing music with a lot of "bits per minute" to give him an extra "boost" of energy.
The content offered by the app is almost limitless and can be customized according to individual needs. Best of all, users can share the app with friends and family, inviting them to join the wellness journey.
Beyond providing individual wellness resources, the app aims to embed wellness into the company's culture, leadership and people management practices. By providing personalized recommendations from world-class experts, offering flexible access to live and on-demand content, and encouraging employees to include their loved ones in their wellness journey, LVL fosters a supportive community where well-being thrives. Employees are better equipped to overcome challenges and drive innovation and growth. The launch of the LVL Wellbeing App by FTI Delta is a powerful step towards prioritizing employee wellbeing and creating a thriving work environment.
