Develop a Corporation Worksite Wellness Program for Your Workers Today
The benefits to starting a workplace wellness and health program are abounding.
A few corporate wellness and health tips to get employees started on the path to a healthier lifestyle:
1. Look around, and determine if staff members lead a healthy lifestyle before starting an Workplace Wellness Program. How many staff members run outside during lunch for a smoke break? Would a smoking cessation program help? How often do the junk food-laden snack machines have to be replenished? Is anyone working out or taking advantage of local walking trails as part of their healthy living goals? The answers to these questions will give businesses a better idea of the Workplace Wellness Program that’s right for them.
2. Survey staff members to determine their healthy lifestyle habits. Are they exercising 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 employers because staff members don’t have the time or energy to stay on top of wellness and health problems at work or when they leave the office to go home.
3. Give Workplace Health Promotion Programs a tremendous kick-off with a healthy living “fair.” Provide employees no cost flu shots, Blood Pressure (BP) checks, blood lipid screenings, body/fat ratio assessments, tobacco cessation programs and no cost mammograms- and contact the local hospital, because there’s plenty more where this came from. Employers keep their employees hopping during the week. Give employees a chance to increase their healthy lifestyle on the business dime. A corporate health & wellness program is an additional benefit that employees receive for working for the business!
4. Incent to live- offer cash money for staff members to lose weight, commit to a smoking cessation program and generally enjoy a healthier lifestyle. Encourage humankind’s innate competitive nature by offering prizes for health & wellness employee “winners.” And, bolster a healthier lifestyle by sponsoring staff members who wish to enter a local 5K for charity race, run a marathon or play a sport.
