Wellness + Workplace
Workplace Wellness Finally Starts to Mean Something
As evidenced by growing burnout rates, quiet quitting, and The Great Resignation, workplace wellness initiatives haven’t been all that effective. As a result, there is a reimagining of workplace wellness programs. From extended company-wide vacations to the “right to disconnect” from emails after hours, companies are reforming workplace wellness as we know it.
Here is a guideline to create a wellness program in your office:
1. Establish Goals: Establish clear goals for your wellness program. Consider the overall health and wellness goals of your organization and how you can best meet them.
2. Develop a Plan: Develop a plan for how you will implement your wellness program. Consider the resources available to you, such as budget, staff, and facilities.
3. Choose Activities: Choose activities that will help your organization reach its wellness goals. Consider activities that are tailored to the needs of your organization and its employees.
4. Promote the Program: Promote the program to your employees. Make sure they understand the benefits of participating in the program and how it will help them reach their personal wellness goals.
5. Monitor and Evaluate: Monitor and evaluate the program to ensure it is meeting its goals. Make adjustments as needed to ensure the program is effective and successful.
6. Reward Participation: Reward employees for participating in the program. Consider offering incentives such as gift cards, discounts, or other rewards.
7. Provide Resources: Provide resources to help employees reach their wellness goals. Consider offering educational materials, access to health professionals, or other resources.
8. Encourage Healthy Habits: Encourage healthy habits such as regular exercise, healthy eating, and stress management.
