Benefits Of Worksite Wellness Programs
- Companies receive many benefits after implementing a worksite wellness program in addition to reducing medical costs. They include increase in employee morale , improved employee health, employee comradely, and increase in productivity of work.
- Then there are the longer-term benefits to keep in mind. Healthy, active employees take fewer sick days and bring more energy to the workplace.
- A 2011 study published in the Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine showed that incorporating just 2.5 hours of exercise per week into the workday led to a noticeable reduction in absences. Perhaps most importantly, fit and healthy workers are less prone to exactly the kinds of preventable, debilitating illnesses that take such a heavy toll on families and on society.
- According to research from neuroscientist Suzuki, life changing effects that the physical activity of 2.5 - 3 hours per week can have the most on is your brain. Two of the most common findings in neuroscience studies with exercise is the improved attention function on the cortex. The more you exercise the bigger and stronger your cortex gets, like a muscle. So with increased exercise in one day, you will get immediate effects of focus and attention that will last 2-3 hours right after. (Insert a Lunch time Wellness workshop here!) Productivity at its best! The second most transformative thing that exercise will do for you is the area in your brain where is most susceptible to diseases and normal cognitive decline in aging, the consistent exercise over time will actually improve and protect your brain therefore taking longer for these diseases and aging to actually have an effect.
- Stress in the workplace:The top causes of stress in the U.S. are money and work-related pressures, according to a 2013 survey from the American Psychological Association. Naturally stress is a natural part of life, however, companies can assist employees on how to better handle situations through mindfulness, wellness and exercise. When you offer your employees a wellness program you are telling them that you respect them, you trust them, and that you want to help them be successful in life. Employees have high employee morale when they are allowed to be creative, solve problems, feel safe and appreciated, develop self-esteem, and achieve personal goals and aspirations.. Employees are happy when they have a sense of control over their lives and their health.
