What is corporate wellness?
Corporate wellness, also known as corporate well-being, is the concept of maintaining a high level of well-being and health among a company’s staff.
The purpose of corporate wellness is to prevent and minimize health risks in the workplace. As an employer it’s your responsibility to make sure your staff get access to the corporate wellness that your work environment circumstances require in the workplace.
Why is corporate wellness so important?
Corporate wellness is important for one simple reason: because your employees are your greatest asset. They make the wheels turn and without them there simply would not be a business. You NEED to give them the resources and opportunity to take care of themselves, not only for their own benefit, but also your own and the company’s benefit.
With a well-established corporate wellness program, you can expect the following benefits:
- Increased productivity as people are healthier, resulting in more energy and happier people
- Improved health behaviors helping your employees adopt good health routines, improving their physical and mental health both in and off work
- Reduced risk of diseases. A healthier lifestyle = decreased risk of health risks such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, etc.
- Increased employee engagement stemming from the establishing of a corporate wellness culture with group activities such as walking meetings and weight loss challenges everyone participates in
- Reduced stress from regular exercise and meditation through the wellness program
- Decreased absenteeism. Employees who are healthy and stress-free are less likely to be absent from work
- Improved employee retention by offering a corporate wellness program benefiting the employees, making them more likely to stay since the company shows that they care for them and gives them the opportunity to perform their best
- Increased employee morale. Morale and health walk hand in hand and are significant factors in determining the success of a company. Good health leads to happier employees, which in turn leads to a higher morale
- Breaks the monotony. Repetitive tasks can break even the strongest person lowering both morale and productivity. Wellness programs engage your employees, keeping them active, motivated, and healthy, and breaks the monotony of everyday tasks
- Reduced health care costs since your corporate wellness program promotes exercise and healthy eating, resulting in healthier people where they won’t have to visit the doctors as often
