Well, Wellness.

Well, Wellness.

Over the past decade, we’ve seen a shift from companies that focus on employee productivity to companies that focus on employee wellness. And it’s because companies with robust wellness programs are more likely to retain and keep their employees engaged at work. It’s no secret that the key to keeping employees happy is to focus on their overall wellbeing. 

Your employees are so much more than just employees — they’re people. And everyone deserves to feel healthy, happy and fulfilled at work and everywhere else. 

Here are some fun ideas for wellness programs you can implement in your workplace: 

1. Daily Fitness Challenge Ever had a chat-bot remind you to do 50 push ups when you get to work in the morning? What about having a chat-bot remind 50 of you to do them at the same time. Working out together can be super fun, while boosting people’s energy, building camaraderie and maybe a little healthy competition. Using the tools at your disposal, get your employees moving with a daily fitness challenge. And maybe incentivize them too.

2. Mental Health Days Mental Health days are becoming more and more popular in the workplace. Whether you give your team Fridays off, or pick a day of the month when your team members can log off and spend some quality time doing what they love — mental health days can be a great way to boost employee happiness and productivity! Don’t believe us? Give it a try!

3. Zen Your Workplace From meditation and yoga classes to sound bath experiences and a little quiet time — what can’t you find when you do a little internet browsing? Hosting a meditation workshop or yoga class at work can be a great way to give your employees a short break from the hustle and bustle. Sometimes we all need a little break and what better way to give your team an oasis away from their desks.

4. Celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month Did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness Month? It’s a great time to organize wellness focused events and programs at work — and get your employees talking about mental health and wellbeing. Celebrating wellness all month long sure is a great way to signal to your employees that you care.

5. Healthy Snacks This one may seem a little more obvious — but one way to encourage physical wellness — is to encourage healthier eating. And what better way to do this than to provide an array of healthy snacks. Use your food & beverage budget to splurge on some organic fruit snacks and coconut chips instead of those pringles.
