With cold weather approaching, lifestyle changes come as
well. More time spent inside, doing this like eating pumpkin pie or cookies.
While this is a great time of year, it’s not the healthiest. Unhealthy
employees lead to more doctor visits and more expenses for everyone. Implementing
a wellness plan in your company is a great way to help keep everyone and their
pockets safe.
Wellness
plans are a great, inexpensive way to encourage healthy employees. A typical
wellness plan may consist of annual checkups and maintaining certain health or
activity levels. When an employee meets these goals, there is some sort of
reward. This can be done with your insurance company, and potentially lower
your expenses. If you’re looking for an easier route to encourage a healthy
lifestyle, a wellness plan could just be set up in your workplace. Within your
company, this could be arranged however you think would be best for you and
your employees.
You decide
on your goals for employees, and the reward for them for achieving these goals.
Whether it’s having 30 minutes logged doing something outside a day or anything
else you think suits your workforce, this can be a great way to encourage
activity, and give workers a topic of discussion. One important note is to make
sure the activities you present are non-discriminatory. If an employee is
unable to do a task or the expectations are unreasonable to them, it could
raise concerns for you. Have a backup option prepared or have another solution
ready to go. Either way, it’s a great way to build camaraderie in the
workplace, make you a sought-after employer, and keep your staff healthy!
