A company health and wellness program refers to activities or initiatives undertaken within the workplace that are designed to support your employees’ general health and well-being. Programs will often differ from business to business in terms of the range of initiatives offered.
Here are some simple initiatives to consider include:
- Providing filtered water.
- Having your air-conditioning and heating systems checked and maintained on a regular basis.
- Increasing the nutritional quality of food available in the workplace.
- Providing desk chairs that are ergonomically designed to support the back.
- Empowering employees to include physical activity into their working day, such as encouraging walking at lunch.
- Providing incentives such as such subsidized memberships to local health clubs. Be sure to check with your local health clubs to see if they offer corporate rates.
- Providing more flexible work hours.
These are just a few ideas to help your employees be happier and healthier!
