Four Ways to Improve and Promote Corporate Wellness

December 1, 2020

Corporate health and wellness might feel like too much to take on, but it pays off by invigorating employees and boosting their productivity.

Providing a variety of resources is ideal since needs can change daily. Consider these four hands-off approaches to impact your employees.

  • Do not recreate, resend: Most employers have plenty of resources or relationships they can leverage to assist employees (and themselves). It is likely a matter of sharing the material again.
    • Do you have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)? Ask your insurer for updated flyers or update them yourself. There are many services to promote within the EAP alone.
    • Check with your banking institution, they may offer financial wellness questionnaires, webinars or assistance.
    • Ask your insurance broker for ideas.
    • Promoting a good relationship with physicians can also be powerful.
  • Automate it: Budgets can be difficult but small gestures go a long way. If you have the funds, onsite produce delivery is a great option. Providing healthy snacks to employees helps them focus on work.
    • Do an online search for options in your area.
    • Encourage walking meetings.
    • Start a healthy selfie submission to share healthy tips and tricks.
  • Get on a distribution list: Your insurer or broker may provide consistent thought leadership pieces on health and wellness. Encourage your employees to sign up or provide this information in company newsletters.
  • Rinse and repeat: No matter which direction you choose, communicate consistently. This does not mean communicate 100 times a day. Find what works, set a calendar invite, and communicate your resources.
    • Post your communication in common areas, such as on the employee intranet, emails, break rooms, work vehicles, and reccurring meeting agendas.
