			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Employee retention is a challenge. Corporate Wellness Programs can help. providing perks such as incentives to exercise, healthy food, stress management and weight loss programs at work is a way to maintain your staff members satisfied.</p>
<p>Attracting new staff members are also a challenge, and anything you can do to “stand out” from other staff members is to your advantage. Remember, salary isn’t everything. Often, the possibility of flex hours or a discount at the local gym may be the deciding factor for a future staff member. Once again, Corporate Wellness Programs to the rescue!</p>
<h3>How Are Corporate Wellness Programs Administered?</h3>
<p>Whether running small Corporate Wellness Programs in-house or using outside corporate wellness companies to oversee the whole thing, program promotion is of utmost importance. You may have a great speaker come in to talk about a very “hot topic,” but if no one knew about it, it was a waste of the speaker’s time and your money.</p>
<p>Corporate Corporate Wellness Plan setup and promotion go hand and hand. Depending on the size of your organization, it may be handled by one person or an entire Corporate Wellness team. You may even have an staff member who is interested in physical fitness and would love to organize some educational wellness presentations and programs.</p>
<p>Other staff members may have areas of interest and would be willing to set up some educational programs. Especially for smaller employers, once you have chosen your events and programs, it is best to set up a calendar with a schedule of events. Then publish the entire calendar as well as announcing each individual event as it comes up.</p>
<h3>Access to Corporate Wellness Programs</h3>
<p>To make access easy, offer a wide range of Corporate Wellness Programs and programs that can fit into everyone’s schedule. For example, some staff members may find it difficult to get to a seminar at work or make a commitment for 8 weeks of the Weight Watchers at Work program. However, they will take advantage of a lowered rate at the gym and will borrow tapes from the health and wellness library.</p>
<p>If you have shifts, don&#8217;t forget to schedule events for the after 5:00 group. Nothing will undermine Corporate Wellness Programs more quickly than promoting great programs that are only convenient for first shift staff members.</p>
