Building a healthy program for your employees.
We can help create and deliver a customized wellness program that will positively impact your team and benefit your organization. This could include the following:
Mental Health Practitioners
As workplace stress becomes increasingly prevalent, offering mental health support through practitioners like counselors and psychiatrists can help employees thrive.
Mindfulness Coaches
Tuning into the present moment and viewing it in non-judgmental ways can help your employees make calm, rational decisions and reduce stress and anxiety in the workplace.
Ergonomics
By doing ergonomic assessments in the workplace, we can help eliminate or reduce exposure to ergonomic hazards. This promotes the prevention of workplace injuries, leading to healthier, happier employees.
Team Challenges
By offering office wellness challenges, short-term behavior change contests, interventions, and team activities, we can improve employee health and morale.
Nutritionists
Healthy food choices help boost holistic employee wellness and promote a positive and energetic workplace.
Yoga and Fitness
Encouraging regular physical activity through fitness classes or gym access can help improve overall health and fitness levels.
Financial Wellness
Providing employees with access to counseling, support, and practical tools to manage their finances can be another way to help decrease stress and anxiety. In this way, financial wellness programs can help improve mental health.
Resilience Workshops
By offering employee workshops, we can help your employees manage stress, avoid burnout, and better deal with uncertainty.
Implementing new wellness programs.
Our three-step process will help you create new wellness initiatives or expand your existing ones to enhance the wellbeing of your employees.
Engage: Commit to Wellness & Assess Your Needs
Designing a tailored wellness program begins by understanding your current workplace wellness initiatives, as well as analyzing your group health and drug claims and employee assistance program (EAP) usage trends. You may also choose to anonymously survey your employees to discover which wellness areas they consider important.
Align: Set Your Priorities
Based on your assessment, and staff survey results, we will design a customized strategy that aligns with the wellness benefits that your organization wants to offer.
Plan & Schedule: Build Your Program Foundation
We will develop a proposal, which outlines the optimal wellness experts and activities for your chosen areas of priority; this will give you options for how to lay out your wellness plan. We will then schedule your wellness initiatives, setting the foundation for a year-long program.
