Workplace Health and Wellness
Create a Company Employee Wellness for Your Workers Today
The advantages to starting a workplace health and wellness program are abounding.
A few corporate health and wellness tips to get employees started on the path to a healthier lifestyle:
1. Look around, and determine if employees lead a healthy lifestyle before launching an Employee Wellness . How many employees run outside at lunchtime for a smoke break? Would a tobacco cessation program help? How frequently do the junk food-laden snack machines must be replenished? Is anyone working out or taking advantage of local walking trails as part of their healthy living objectives and goals? The answers to these questions will give corporations a clearer idea of the Employee Wellness that’s right for them.
2. Survey employees to ascertain their healthy lifestyle habits. Are they working out regularly? Eat three square meals a day? Have regular physicals? Really? Then what planet are they on? Because we would love to visit! A corporate wellness program benefits most corporations because employees don’t have the time or energy to stay on top of health and wellness concerns at work or when they leave the office to go home.
3. Give Employee Wellness a tremendous kick-off with a healthy living “fair.” Offer employees free flu shots, Blood Pressure (BP) checks, cholesterol screenings, body/fat ratio assessments, tobacco cessation programs and free mammograms- and contact the local hospital, because there’s plenty more where this came from. Companies keep their employees hopping during the week. Give employees a chance to amp up their healthy lifestyle on the business dime. A corporate health and wellness program is an added benefit that employees get for working for the business!
4. Incent to live- offer cash money for employees to lose weight, commit to a tobacco cessation program and generally enjoy a healthier lifestyle. Promote humankind’s innate competitive nature by offering prizes for health and wellness employee “winners.” And, encourage a healthier lifestyle by sponsoring employees who desire to enter a local 5K for charity race, run a marathon or play a sport.
