Workplace wellness workshops

Small and mid-sized employers, clinics, community organizations and associations that want to support their staff.

A fixed fee per workshop or a package for a series, sometimes with a monthly retainer for ongoing sessions.

• Confident presenting to groups
• Planning clear, engaging sessions
• Professional approach with HR and managers
• Knowledge from training or experience in wellbeing topics

• Commercial general liability and professional liability insurance, since many employers will ask for proof
• Protected titles such as 'dietitian', and 'nutritionist' in some provinces, check your provincial regulator before using them
• Keep content general and educational, and avoid individual medical advice in group settings
• Sales cycles can be slow, and winter weather can affect in-person travel, so have a video option ready
• Register for GST/HST once revenue passes the small supplier threshold

Startup costs are typically estimated at around $500 to $2,500, depending on the materials, equipment, insurance and marketing you need. Your own training and any presentation gear you already own will affect where you land in that range.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $1,000 to $5,000, depending on how many employers you win, how many sessions you deliver and your pricing. The estimate assumes at least about 8 hours a week.

Check your provincial regulator before using protected titles such as 'dietitian' or, in some provinces, 'nutritionist'. Also check insurance, since employers often ask for proof, keep content general and educational, and look into GST/HST registration once revenue passes the threshold.
