Tom is head of a company conscious of looking after employee health. Assessment showed his workplace was full of aches, pains and posture issues, so he hired a physical trainer to come in three times a week. However uptake for the classes was low, and those who did attend fell away quickly. Employee health remained poor.

Empeal’s nuanced data analysis saw that what was missing was personalisation. Tom’s physical trainer wasn’t the answer, but tailored programmes of simple exercise and physiotherapy were. Engagement went up, employees felt better. This insight allowed the EAP Provider to operate more effectively and, when it was time to renew staff health insurance, to strategise cost-effective alterations to the company’s packages.

Jack has a chronic health condition. At a medical consultation, tests are done, he is prescribed medications, and given recommendations on nutrition and lifestyle. However, the clinical team have no idea how well Jack has managed his health until his repeat check up. As they discover, Jack was confused by the instructions, and he returns with his condition aggravated.

With Empeal, Jack has help in his pocket. He’s able to easily and in real-time track his health between consultations, and customised programmes guide him step-by-step through following his clinical advice. Before his next check up, Jack also simply downloads his data report to give the practitioner, so reliable information can help in choosing the patient’s next steps.

Mary is an HR manager looking after health. She tried to run a simple step challenge, but it was difficult getting employees to take part, and those who did submitted their step count via a messy stream of texts and chats and emails. Mary’s department was overloaded just trying to collate the data, never mind analyse it to help company strategy.

Empeal significantly reduced Mary’s HR stress. It was downloadable, easy to use and increased engagement. It required no management, making health drives sustainable for the first time. It centralised information, and generated clear and regular reports which were key to implementing wellbeing solutions and improving company success.

Jane is frequently unwell. She needs medical treatment and frequent visit to clinics but thankfully that’s covered through insurance. However, this causes her to miss work and results in poor social inclusion, happiness and career growth.

She has seen a trend of absenteeism in her team as well. She thinks this could be avoided with proper intervention

Jane is a customer service team leader. She feels tired all the time, has hyperthyroid issues, she’s allergic to gluten, and suffers shoulder pain due to a sedentary job and bad posture. Her wellbeing goals are to get healthier and reduce stress, but she doesn’t know where to start.

With Empeal, Jane had access to cutting edge interactive assessment and trend analysis. This soon highlighted the root causes of her health complaints, which were tackled through custom gluten-free meal suggestions and exercise programmes including shoulder rehab, and guidance and monitoring features for improved sleep. Jane quickly goes from a tired employee to a healthy and happy one.

This year has been a great example of how we have come together in times of crisis to protect one another. It is empowering to note how resilient we have become through our ability to produce vaccines, treatments, and tests to help those in need. World Health Day is an important date to note as it occurs annually on the 7th of April and it aims to bring attention to specific health topics each year. For example, 

to remind world leaders of the critical role they play in healthcare.

 is to create awareness of the inequalities that occur within the health industry. This year all are encouraged to reflect and contribute to the effort of building a fairer, healthier world where an equal opportunity to healthcare is achieved. 

World health day is sponsored by The World Health Organisation which is responsible for international public health. As part of their efforts to achieve their goals, the organisation has been an advocate and voice for those who have gone unheard. This year as expected Covid-19 and vaccine rollouts have been a very pressing topic. The World Health organisation has called on governments to recognise 

. Currently, these workers are being dismissed by governments as they have not been acknowledged as a priority to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. To stand against this action and to give these workers a voice the World Health Organisations has been active in lobbying governments to help change this decision. Furthermore, the 

World Health Organisation is partnered with

to try and accelerate the development, production, and equitable access to covid-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines

. This is an effort to save and protect lives while attempting to control the pandemic further.

Within the Irish context, The World Organisation has also expressed strong opinions in the past concerning government arrangements and Covid-19. This was seen recently when the World Health Organization publicly sided with an 

 rather than one focused on profession which was previously happening in Ireland. This change was encouraged by WHO as it was thought that it would achieve better results and a faster rollout of vaccines for the Irish people.

For the past year, wellness has been on everybody's minds as the pandemic has continued to spike and decline throughout the different seasons. For most of us washing our hands wearing facemasks and using hand, sanitizer has become part of our everyday routine. However, for those living in third-world countries, many disadvantaged individuals do not have this privilege. To be given the opportunity to protect oneself along with loved ones is something that everybody should be given the chance to do. It is for this reason why The World Health Organization has prioritised equality and better health for everyone in this year’s World Health Day 2021.

Katarina Antill is the founder and CEO of Bonafi – a RegTech startup in the pharma industry. She has a 10 year background in pharma and 10 years in aviation in various roles. Though she is originally from Sweden, she has spent many years in different countries before moving to Ireland 9 years ago. From an academic perspective, she has a degree in law from Leiden University in the Netherlands and an MBA from DCU in Ireland. One of many quotes she truly finds inspirational and believes in is “It Always Seems Impossible Until It’s Done”- Nelson Mandela.

1. What does the slogan, “Each for Equal” mean for you in your work life?

To me it’s the most natural thing in the world that woman and men can do the same job. I don’t hire by gender – I hire by fit in the team. However, there needs to be a good distribution of diversity to get the best teams – evidence show that diversity bring innovation.

2. What barriers have you faced, as a women, in becoming successful in your field? How did you overcome them?

I don’t actually think I have faced too many barriers due to being a woman recently – or perhaps I have just ignored them! Years ago I worked in the aviation industry, focusing on safety equipment for aircrafts - which is a very male dominated field. There was certainly was a tendency for men to “pat” me on the head and try to disregard what I was saying – until they got to know me. Any reservations anyone might have had about me disappeared out the window once they realized that I knew my stuff and probably knew it better than anyone. I made a point of learning everything there was to learn about my field.

3. What does the idea of power mean to you?

The insight to see beyond a person’s gender or background and realize the value of diversity, is true power to me.

4. How important is it for women to lift each other up and what does it mean to you?

I have just finished the Innovate Program for Female Entrepreneurs as a part of being awarded Enterprise Ireland’s Competitive Start Fund. This was the first time I have ever been a part of a female only group and it was amazingly inspirational and supportive. I think it is incredibly important for females to lift each other up and also ensure the young female’s in your life are properly supported in their career choices. Unfortunately –it’s not always the case that women support women. We have to look at ourselves as women and ask why studies show that even women think that men are better suited to be political leaders!

5. On International Women's Day, what is the most important message you want to send out to young women thinking about their careers?

Focus on following what you are passionate about, and believe you can achieve it. Don’t think about if it’s a job that is traditionally held a gender or another. That is the message that I am giving my 17-year old step-daughter. To believe in her own abilities as a person in this world.
