Top 5 Workplace wellness programs Ideas to Boost Employee Health
July 25, 2019 by Admin
9 to 5 jobs, especially desk jobs can take a serious toll on an individual’s health and also productivity. Sitting in front of a desk for 7 to 8 hours can severely impact a person’s posture and overall well-being. Not to mention, stress from working such long hours.
Of course, you are an employer and you have tried your best to design your office ergonomically. But, that isn’t enough. If not for being the employer of the month, introduce wellness programs in your office for enhancing employee productivity, and ultimately, bottom line.
Big or small, all kinds of businesses can benefit from a well-designed wellness initiative at the workplace.
Here are some great ideas for you to consider.
1. ON-SITE GYMNASIUM
This is the most common corporate wellness program initiative. And most companies with considerable space might already have an on-site health and fitness centre. Even if you cannot afford a 72,000 square foot gym complete with swimming pool and rock climbing facilities, you can create a basic fitness centre with basic equipment where employees can de-stress while trimming their fat. Also, make sure to hire a personal fitness trainer who will motivate and guide.
2. WEEKLY ZUMBA OR FREESTYLE DANCE CLASSES
This is something that is new and fresh out of the oven. A number of companies are embracing the idea of weekly Zumba or freestyle dance classes. You can arrange this in a limited space. And after initially introducing it once a week, you can extend it to all days of the week. Moreover, you do not necessarily need a trainer for this. By allowing your employees to move about in any way that they want, you are allowing them to express themselves while getting rid of work stress.
3. YOGA CLASSES
Yoga is a wonderful way to get rid of physical and mental stress. It strengthens a person from within. You can conduct yoga classes twice a week or every day of the week. It can be part of the morning ritual when employees come in or sometime in the evening when employees need to cool down. Yoga will help your employees deal with tight deadlines and work pressure.
4. HEALTHY LUNCH AND SNACKS COUNTER
By introducing a health lunch and snacks program, you will be encouraging your employees to eat healthy and right. Such communal eating programs will also encourage interaction between employees and give them space and opportunity to mingle and work as a team.
5. CORPORATE RETREATS
Monthly or once in 3 or 6 months, you can consider organizing corporate retreats for your employees. You can head to a naturopathy and yoga centre that is located amidst nature. Being away from the chaos of city life will instantly make your employees feel stress-free. Also, the lush nature will help them breathe pollution-free air. All teams will be able to interact with one another freely and take part in the activities planned by the retreat centre.
