The benefits to starting a wellness program are many.

A few corporate wellness tips to get workers began on the path to a healthier lifestyle -

1. Look around, and determine if workers lead a healthful lifestyle before starting an worker wellness program.

• How many workers dash outside at lunchtime for a smoke break?
• Would a smoking cessation program help?
• How often do the junk food-laden vending machines have to be replenished?
• is anybody exercising or taking advantage of local walking trails as part of their healthful living goals?

The answers to these questions will give companies a better idea of the worker wellness program that’s right for them.

2. Survey staff members to determine their healthful 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 wellness program benefits most businesses because workers do not have the time or energy to stay on top of wellness concerns at work or when they leave the office to go home.

3. Provide wellness programs a large kick-off with a healthy living “fair.” Offer staff members free flu shots, blood pressure (BP) checks, cholesterol screenings, body/fat ratio assessments, smoking 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 corporation dime. A wellness program is an added benefit that employees get for working for the company!

4. Incent to live- offer money for employees to lose weight, commit to a tobacco use cessation program and normally enjoy a healthier lifestyle.

Make certain to encourage humankind’s innate competitive nature by offering prizes for wellness staff member “winners.” And, encourage a healthier lifestyle by sponsoring staff members who want to enter a local 5K for charity race, run a marathon or play a sport.
