The importance of wellness is ever increasing, whether it means practicing healthy choices or learning new ways to create a more successful and balanced lifestyle. Certainly, at its foundation are efforts focused at disease and illness prevention. With the amount of time spent at the workplace today and the link between health and productivity, the worksite becomes an important venue for the promotion of wellness.
Employee Wellness programs help to:
-
Improve morale
-
Enhance engagement
-
Improve recruitment & employee retention
-
Enhance organizational productivity
Worksite wellness programs are defined as services focused on the promotion or maintenance of good health rather than the correction of poor health. A successful Worksite wellness program incorporates activities which promote the wellbeing of employees,focussing on individual behaviour change and organisational change, creating policies and environments (physical and social) which support healthy behaviours. Individuals who have a strong sense of wellbeing will contribute to a satisfied, productive and stable workforce. Hence there are benefits for employees and for organisations in improving health and wellness.
These programs are designed to assist people in adopting positive behaviors with a hope of improving the productivity of the workplace and morale of the workforce. There are a wide range of programs and initiatives that can fall under the wellness umbrella, but all of them have the potential to alter the workplace, based on their implementation and employee participation. From lifestyle assessments to health education to physical activities, the mission of wellness programming is to help employees adapt to and maintain healthier lifestyles.
With our knowledge we practice a "whole person" approach, treating the entire person rather than just symptoms. Focusing on preventive health care, we help in developing attitudes and lifestyles that don't just fight illness, but help prevent it too.
