Corporate Wellness Programs: An Overview

What Is a Wellness Program?

Corporate wellness programs are designed to help your employees maintain optimum health, both mentally and physically. Health and wellness programs that are successful view employees holistically, dealing with all aspects of an employee's wellness, incorporating various elements common to all successful workplace wellness programs.

Health screening and Health Fairs are one important component of a sound wellness program for employees. Encouraging employees to exercise and keep fit is another; helping to foster a more active lifestyle is essential.

Classes and workshops about health topics are also quite useful. Workplace harassment, health insurance education, coping with health issues, diet, and stress management are but a few ideas. Employee wellness programs can even offer guest lecturers from universities, private foundations, and nonprofit groups.

Corporate Wellness Programs and On-Site Chair Massage

On Site Chair Massage is a great way to keep employees relaxed and focused as part of a company wellness program. There have been various studies indicating that workplace chair massage offers a plethora of documented benefits, and likely more that have yet to be observed and studied.

Regularly scheduled sessions of Therapeutic massage using portable massage chairs is most effective, though studies show even a single short-duration session of chair massage can help a person feel better, both physically and mentally. Employees receive Therapeutic Massage sitting upright, fully clothed and oil-less. This is often the most appreciated part of the corporate wellness program, according to most employees we speak with.

   

Employee Wellness Programs and Company Goals

Encouraging employees to form more stable and positive bonds is another worthy goal of your company's custom- designed employer wellness program, though secondary to educating your employees about health choices. Discussing health topics in small groups is a good way to get employees to start seeing each other in more human terms, rather than merely, "the guy down the hall who does the invoices from Joe's clients."

Wellness programs in the workplace should help foster the positive growth of all employees, including socially. When the members of your team look upon each other with more patience and understanding, they can invariably work better together. And in the end, that means a more efficient, effective, and cohesive team.

Wellness Programs: Not just a Once-Yearly Event!

Company wellness programs should include regularly scheduled time set aside solely for wellness activities. Employees can be given a choice of which activities to participate in. hacing this wellness time set aside is crucial, whether it's before, during, or after work hours. Competitive sports may be fun for some employees, but may be stress-inducing for others. Throwing a softball or frisbee around may be more enjoyable for some, so allow your employees to form groups and offer a choice of physical activity. Walking is another irreplaceable health-building activities that employees may do as a group.

Group Yoga, Chi Kung, Tai Chi, and even aerobics are also appropriate employee wellness ideas. Of course, for an employee wellness program to really have an impact, there should be a regularly scheduled time, either during work hours or after work, not just once yearly at the annual company Health and Wellness Fair! For any of this to have an impact, employees must change their lifestyles, their ways of dealing with stress, and that takes practice and time.
