Summer Wellness
Wellness During the Summer
Wellness is important year-round; however if your staff members haven’t gotten on the Wellness bandwagon, then now is the perfect time to get them there.
Summer is an ideal time of year to get back into shape and enhance overall Wellness. The weather is beautiful, staff members can get outside and they are motivated by the thought of having to wear clothes with less coverage. Fitness, or lack of fitness, is apparent in the summer.
Wellness in the Summer has Advantages
There are many advantages to starting a Corporate Wellness Plan in the Summer. Employees are more likely to get outside and walk or participate in group activities during the summer than they are in the cooler months of the fall and winter. Summer is also a great time to begin a Wellness challenge with your staff members and celebrate the completion of the challenge with a participant picnic or cookout. Finally, it always seems easier to eat healthy during the summer with all the fresh vegetables and fruits that are available during this time.
Corporate Wellness Plan Kick-off
We recommend following these steps when starting a Corporate Wellness Plan in your office.
Pick a wellness coordinator for the Corporate Wellness Plan who is willing and able to see it through.
Make sure that you have the support of organization leadership.
Start a Wellness committee
Use a Corporate Wellness Plan survey to uncover the obstacles and goals of your Corporate Wellness Plan
Provide Health Risk Assessments
Analyze the Corporate Wellness Plan and changes as needed
Remember to stress that the Corporate Wellness Plan is for the employees. Corporate Wellness Programs have been found to prevent obesity, cancer, heart disease and hypertension. Taking part in in a Corporate Wellness Plan that offers all that should be an easy decision for the corporation and for the staff members.
