Human relations at the heart of work
Arnold Migan is the founder of HUG.
Coming from a dual engineering school-business school course, he spent twenty years as a senior executive in multinationals and managed teams in different countries.
These experiences reinforce his conviction that human relations are essential within the company.
And like all relationships, these need to be nurtured.
Another observation is added: at work, employees do not dare take the time to take care of themselves.
He himself was a victim of this self-neglect.
This is how he decided to create a company with the aim of helping workers in companies to feel better, to cultivate their well-being and their know-how for a better quality of life at work, at work. office or remotely.
To do this, Arnold Migan relies on three pillars: short times, easy-to-access solutions and adapted budgets.
HUG HUG
Wellness breaks
Since its creation in January 2018, the HUG company has made 20-minute "well-being breaks" its Credo.
Its objective is to allow employees to take time to take care of themselves for periods equivalent to that of a coffee break.
The workshops are ingeniously designed with experts and specialists from the HUG team.
A multidisciplinary team whose expertise covers all dimensions of well-being:
The body, with soft mobility exercises, prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (muscle awakening, yoga, massage, reflexology, etc.)
The mind, with sessions dedicated to the prevention of psychosocial risks (sophrology, meditation, stress management, etc.)
Nutrition, thanks to health and performance advice workshops
Sleep (relaxation, micro-nap, recovery, etc.)
Among this globality of themes, local authorities and companies, small, medium or large (even multinationals) compose their programs to meet their challenges and the needs of their employees.
HUG addresses organizations everywhere in France but also outside France, by videoconference or on site.
In December 2019, HUG's Well-Being Breaks won the QVT Trophy, Gold Winner in the "best health prevention approach in the workplace" category.
Hybrid work – Combining the human and the digital for the well-being of the teams
In March 2020, HUG launches digital with solidarity workshops offered live and online during the 1st confinement.
With more than 5,000 participants, the success is resounding and companies quickly adopt the programs offered by HUG to support employees wherever they are: office or telecommuting.
More than 300 workshops will be carried out in 2021, of which nearly 90% will be held by videoconference, in French or in English.
In December 2021 HUG was recognized by the English magazine GHP News as the leader of the French market for its digital workshops related to the management of the mental load of employees.
Arnold Migan and his teams continue digitalization and launch an online platform allowing HR and managers to easily manage well-being activities led by experts live.
On this medium, employees can also find practical content that can be used 24 hours a day, such as videos, files and podcasts.
Other novelties are to be discovered: personal development, mental preparation, inter-company exchange groups, etc.
Latest avenues of development for HUG: the creation of specific support on human relations, interpersonal skills, how to take care of others and work on their interactions.
And the implementation of mental preparation programs, like those for top-level athletes, accessible to all and adapted to everyone's needs.
