How to Increase Employee Productivity with a Plan for Healthy Living
There’s one universal business truth that’s unwavering: The success of a company depends on the productivity and performance of its employees. In that vein, providing education and motivation to improve individual health can produce valuable rewards for both employees and employers. Benefits of a corporate wellness program can include:
- Lower healthcare costs
- Decreased rates of chronic disease, injury, disability and absenteeism
- Increased employee productivity and efficiency
- Improved morale, lower stress levels and enhanced employee retention
Studies confirm that health improvements and cost savings are achievable by providing work-site programs for health promotion and disease prevention. Adopting healthy practices can be affordable and simple, and do not necessarily require expensive technology or elaborate treatment facilities. In fact, providing health education materials can help employees take responsibility for and transform their own health, while bringing savings and the benefits of a healthier workforce to employers.
When it comes to developing a wellness program in your business, focusing on one change at a time can increase your success in adopting new, healthier habits. Based on this incremental concept, I’d like to share with you a six-month plan I designed for creating wellness in the workplace. The plan will cover:
- Month 1 – Supplement with Core Nutrients
- Month 2 – Provide Healthy Food Options
- Month 3 – Promote Regular Exercise
- Month 4 – Support Stress Reduction
- Month 5 – “Green” Your Work Environment
- Month 6 – Support Specialized Testing
