The pandemic’s widespread impact has underscored the importance of leading healthier lifestyles for our physical and mental well-being, Banyan Tree Group said in a press release. To that end, the company says it’s refocusing on its core values of well-being and sustainability in its internal culture as a key to recovery in preparing for guests’ return during and beyond the pandemic.
Groupwide initiatives available internally and externally are based on a clarified approach of simplifying evidence and feedback, and then structuring these into eight pillars that guide the brand’s well-being programs. Incorporating practices of the mind, body, soul and relationship with others and nature, the eight pillars of well-being include Sleep & Rest, Dietary Awareness, Bonding & Connection, Physical Vitality, Cultivate The Mind, Learning & Development, Harmony with Nature and Sustained Practices.
Through the training modules leaning on empathy, positive psychology and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), employees can learn about stress management techniques, resilience and self-care. Furthermore, Banyan Tree Group has pivoted to a well-being-focused organizational index whereby employees answer a set of 64 questions on lifestyle practices based on the eight well-being pillars. The same set of 64 questions is also used as an assessment for guests when they book at a well-being sanctuary. These initiatives, the company said, are in line with the belief that “happy and healthy associates result in satisfied guests.”
