What’s Your Body Battery Today?

“What’s your Body Battery today?” That’s a question Antti Luukkanen, CEO of Liikkuva Suomi, hears a lot at team meetings.

“Liikkuva Suomi’s innovative coaching concept brings wellbeing to the core of our client’s organization around simple, effective themes of managing mental and physical load at work and in personal life, without forgetting the power of recovery,” Luukkanen explains.

Together with Liikkuva Suomi, organizations like Siemens Osakeyhtiö in Finland and the Baltic countries have embarked on a strategic wellbeing journey where long-term results and a healthy workforce are built on positive choices in life and in work, aided by technology.

“We believe that only healthy and well-balanced professionals can support our customers in major projects, and also meet the challenges of today’s society,” says Janne Öhman, CEO of Siemens Osakeyhtiö, about the importance of wellbeing in business.

Siemens HR Director Heidi Moilanen stresses that the time for magic tricks is over. “We want to support the long-term wellbeing of our people. This is not just a single project, but a core value related to our corporate culture that permeates everything we do.”

Liikkuva Suomi’s coaching concept is based on supporting client organizations to create a culture of wellbeing through positive, lasting changes that are easily implemented, and tracked through technology. And the results speak for themselves. A more engaged, balanced workforce is worth investing in.

The use of intelligent technology plays a key role in Liikkuva Suomi’s coaching, combining data insights with a people-focused approach. At Siemens Osakeyhtiö, Garmin’s wearable vívosmart 4 smart bands measure wellbeing data straight from the heart, and the HeiaHeia app helps staff members to track their data and exercise, as well as cheer each other on.

“Garmin’s Body Battery helps you understand where you are at, mentally and physically. When you wake up in the morning, your body battery can be anything between 5-100%. In the same way as you recharge your devices overnight, you need to remember to recharge yourself for the following day,” says Luukkanen, “and technology helps to you manage load, stress and recovery better.”

Liikkuva Suomi’s coaches know they have done a good job when wellbeing becomes part of a client organization’s everyday working life.

“Wellbeing is not a tick box exercise, or a fad diet. It’s about making small, positive choices for a healthier lifestyle, which supports you in life and in work, and knits your team and your organization together around a shared culture of wellbeing. And that’s when cheering each other along takes off, from a genuine place of supporting each other. What’s your body battery today?” asks Luukkanen.

Liikkuva Suomi engages and motivates organizations to move, rest, and eat healthier, and to feel better, with the support of professional coaches and a people-focused, technology-aided approach.
