The winter months can negatively impact the health and well-being of employees. Gloomy weather, short days and chilly temperatures can seriously take a toll on their health. However, as a business owner, you cannot afford slow workplace performance. You need to keep your employees motivated and healthy so that their productivity does not decrease. This is why you should lay special emphasis on wellness during the winter months.

Here are a few corporate wellness suggestions from Nirvana Naturopathy & retreat that will help your company meet the challenges of winter wellness.

ORGANIZE FRIENDLY COMPETITIONS AMONG EMPLOYEES

It is crucial for your employees to stay active during the winter. This is possible if you constantly motivate them. You can create easy and fun competitions, and ask employees to compete against each other. It can be dance competitions or outdoor sports. You can even bring them to our health and wellness centre and engage them in outdoor games where they can team up and compete. This can be a weekend retreat where employees get a chance to unwind, relax and stay active.

PROMOTE YOGA PRACTICE

A lot of people blame the cold for not working out during the winter months. This makes them inactive and lazy. You can set aside an hour for your employees to practice yoga together. As they will all take part in this activity, they will get to know each other and have a lot of fun mastering various yoga poses. You can also suggest them to continue this in their homes.

INTEGRATE HEALTHY EATING PROGRAMS

Encourage your employees to eat healthy if you want them to reach their maximum potential. Winter is a time when employees need a lot of energy and that means eating carbs, but balancing it out with vegetables. Also, you can install machines that will give out salads and juices so that employees can avoid eating junk in-between meals. You can even hand out healthy cooking recipes and ask your employees to come up with more such healthy eating ideas.

REWARD YOUR EMPLOYEES WITH A MASSAGE

You can motivate your employees to work harder by assuring them prizes in the form of therapeutic massage sessions. As they are sitting all day long, this will be a welcome relief to most of them suffering from back problems and headaches. This will help to relax their bodies and make them feel rejuvenated and ready to work.

So, these are a few ideas that you can implement to make your workplace healthier in the winter months.
