In addition to worksite well-being benefits being used to recruit and retain employees, a well-designed program can develop key talent by engaging employees allowing their skills, knowledge and abilities to be maximized.
Corporate well-beings should be simple, affordable and effective.
This can be achieved by using evidenced-based wellness program theory and design, facilitated by professionals educated, trained and certified in health promotions.
Above all, it should be a positive and encouraging experience where the employee is empowered to create their own goals and assisted with how to overcome their barriers.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), unhealthy behaviors and lifestyles contribute to today’s leading causes of death. In addition, to unhealthy behaviors, health trends that lack evidence are being adopted by those seeking solutions to their health conditions and/or personal health goals. An evidenced-based worksite well-being strategy that promotes accurate and unbiased information and interventions can help employees spend their time engaging in helpful behaviors rather than chasing the newest health trend.
