About Corporate Wellness Programs

Why Are Corporate Wellness Programs Important?

Investing in a corporate wellness program provides employees the opportunity to make healthier choices and practice work-life balance. From an employer standpoint, wellness programs offer cost-effective, innovative solutions for companies looking to reduce health expenditure, increase productivity and decrease employee turnover rates.

A culture of healthier lifestyle choices increases awareness of employees unhealthy habits. For example, habits around sleep, nutrition and exercise can all have either a positive or negative impact on employees’ moods, happiness, attitudes and workplace behaviors.   Happy employees are more productive, engaged and less likely to leave or take a sick day.   

What Are the Benefits of Corporate Wellness?

Yoga, boot camp, and wellness workshops have been proven to decrease stress-related illnesses, absenteeism, improve employee alertness, productivity, enhance energy and attitude throughout the workday. Employees report a reduction in back and neck pain, aching joints, muscle tightness and fatigue after attending on-site wellness classes.
