At ELE|NA, the philosophy is simple yet profound: wellness extends beyond the individual, intertwining with their collective ethos and benefiting our planet. This belief fuels their innovative Colleague Wellness Program and Sustainable Ambassador initiative, emphasizing their dedication to cultivating a culture of health, happiness, and environmental responsibility.
Nurturing the Team’s Well-Being: The Colleague Wellness Program
True wellness encompasses physical, emotional, and mental health. To address this, ELE|NA has introduced dedicated wellness ambassadors at each of their resorts. Central to the Colleague Wellness Program, these ambassadors curate a range of activities to promote the overall wellbeing of the guests. From the tranquility of yoga to the mindfulness of meditation, alongside nutritional guidance and innovative wellness ventures, ELE|NA provides a comprehensive array of opportunities. This holistic approach ensures every team member has the resources and support to flourish, promoting wellbeing within and outside the workplace.
The commitment to enhancing their colleagues’ lives now includes “Smoothie Sunday,” a new initiative designed to integrate fun, nutrition, and wellness into their weekly routine. Every Sunday, the teams gather to enjoy freshly prepared smoothies, each brimming with healthful ingredients that fuel the body and uplift the spirit. This initiative not only encourages healthy eating habits but also fosters a sense of community and wellbeing among our staff.
Championing Sustainability: The Role of the Sustainable Ambassador
Sustainability is not just a policy at ELE|NA; it’s a principle that informs every aspect of their operations. To this end, they have appointed a sustainable ambassador in each resort, tasked with overseeing the efforts to manage resources responsibly. This role encompasses a broad spectrum of responsibilities, from monitoring water and electricity consumption to reduce paper use and enhancing waste recycling practices.
But the commitment doesn’t stop at conservation. Through creative repurpose initiatives, they transform by-products of everyday operations into valuable resources. Ginger from spa teas is reborn as delectable ginger candy, delighting guests while minimizing waste. Leftover coconut from oil demonstrations finds new life as an invigorating coconut scrub, and smoothed coconut shells are ingeniously repurposed for the signature coconut shell massage treatments.
These initiatives exemplify ELE|NA’s dedication to not only providing unparalleled wellness experiences but also leading the way to environmental sustainability. By embedding these values into the core of their operations, they aim to inspire both colleagues and guests to join in making a positive impact on the world.
Through the Colleague Wellness Program and Sustainable Ambassador initiative, ELE|NA continues to shape a future where wellness and sustainability go hand in hand, creating a legacy of health, happiness, and harmony with nature.
