Corporate Wellbeing Offer
What We Do:
A nature-connected staff wellbeing and support programme for values-led employers in Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
It offers personalised support for both mental and physical health, delivered through 1:1 sessions, group experiences, and creative or reflective practices. Some sessions may take place outdoors in local orchards, gardens or green spaces – but nature-connection is not about location alone. It also informs the approach: the way practitioners listen, work, pace, and support people, whether sessions are in-person, indoors, or online.
Every programme is co-designed with the employer, so the support fits the needs of their people, their culture and their values. It’s a partnership model rather than an off-the-shelf service: a trusted wellbeing ally for organisations that want support that is proactive, human, relational, and grounded in place.
And crucially, it’s a local model. The work is rooted in Bristol and South Gloucestershire, drawing on a network of skilled practitioners and access to real community sites where appropriate. This makes support more accessible, more human, and more connected to the places where people live and work.
Who Is It For?
Employers whose values align deeply with OPM’s ethos:
-
B Corps
-
Employee-owned organisations
-
Purpose-led SMEs
-
Ethical design, creative, and professional service firms
-
Organisations committed to community, sustainability, and people-first cultures
In other words: Organisations that want to live their values, not simply state them on their website.
We want to support organisations that are:
-
People-centred, community-minded organisations with a shared ethos.
-
Committed to inclusive practice and wellbeing
-
Rooted in Bristol with a strong environmental and social ethos
-
Team-oriented, collaborative, relationship-driven
This is for leadership teams who want a local wellbeing partner, not a one-off generic corporate service.
How Might Our Offer
Benefit Your Organisation
We are aware that many employers may already have EAP's in place, but in some cases these tend to be reacitve and perhaps rather underused. Our offer is focused on creating something more personal, We work with you to understand your needs and then construct support that directly matches your needs
Most organisations already have an EAP, but these tend to be reactive and underused. Staff often need something more personal, local and ongoing to feel genuinely supported.
Our support is:
-
preventative,
-
ongoing,
-
person-centred,
-
nature connected
-
provided within the local environment and,
-
aligned with your values.
Leadership should pick up the phone when:
-
Staff feel stretched, fatigued, or disconnected
-
Return-to-work cases are rising or feel complex
-
Managers want to act preventively, not reactively
-
The existing EAP is underused or ineffective
-
They want to demonstrate ESG/people commitments in a credible way
-
They want to offer something deeper than a yoga class or mindfulness webinar
-
They’re planning a team-building or away day, but want it to mean something
-
Perfect timing for values-led employers when looking forward: a new leadership team, a new year planning cycle, and a new strategy.
What Makes It Special?
This is the personalised, relational support designed to help staff who are experiencing stress, anxiety, low confidence, physical or mental health challenges, or who need support returning to work.
What’s unique here is how the support is delivered:
Nature-connected practice:
Support may take place outdoors, indoors or online, but the approach is always grounded in nature.
This influences how practitioners listen, pace sessions, help people regulate, and create a sense of safety and calm.
A diverse network of
qualified practitioners:
Coaches, therapists, creative practitioners, nature practitioners, movement specialists, perinatal and neurodiversity support – all working with a shared ethos.
A Joined-up Ecosystem Of Support:
Staff may access:
-
1:1 support
-
small group sessions
-
reflective or creative practices
-
movement or grounding sessions
-
nature-connection experiences (where appropriate)
Instead of a fragmented set of offerings, employers get one integrated wellbeing partner.
Why This Combination Matters
Most providers offer either:
-
standardised wellbeing content, or
-
one-off workshops,
-
or outdoor/nature experiences,
-
or counselling-style support.
OPM brings these together in a way that is:
-
Local and rooted in place. Drawing on real community sites and practitioners who know the area.
-
Relational and co-designed. Nothing is off-the-shelf; everything is shaped with the employer.
-
Holistic and connected. Wellbeing support + community impact + practical experiences = stronger culture and deeper engagement.
-
Grounded in real community benefit. As a non-profit, every organisation’s investment supports local biodiversity, community wellbeing and regenerative projects.
