Establish a Corporation Company Health Promotion Program for Your Workers Today

The advantages to starting a workplace health and wellbeing program are abounding.

A few corporate health and wellness tips to get staff members started on the path to a healthier lifestyle:

1. Look around, and determine if staff members lead a healthy lifestyle before launching an Corporate Health Promotion Program. How many staff members dash outside at lunch for a smoke break? Would a smoking cessation program help? How often do the junk food-laden snack machines must be replenished? Is anyone exercising or taking advantage of local walking trails as part of their healthy living goals? The answers to these questions will give corporations a better idea of the Corporate Health Promotion Program that’s right for them.

2. Survey workers to determine their healthy lifestyle habits. Are they exercising regularly? Eat three square meals a day? Have regular physicals? Really? Then what planet are they on? Because we would love to visit! A corporate wellness program benefits most companies because workers don’t have the time or energy to stay on top of health and wellness concerns at work or when they leave the office to go home.

3. Give Company Health Promotion Programs a tremendous kick-off with a healthy living “fair.” Provide employees no cost flu shots, Blood Pressure checks, blood lipid screenings, body/fat ratio assessments, tobacco cessation programs and no cost mammograms- and contact the local hospital, because there’s plenty more where this came from. Corporations keep their employees hopping during the week. Give employees a chance to amp up their healthy lifestyle on the employer dime. A corporate health and wellness program is an additional benefit that employees get for working for the employer!

4. Incent to live- offer cash money for workers to lose weight, commit to a tobacco cessation program and generally enjoy a healthier lifestyle. Encourage humankind’s innate competitive nature by offering prizes for wellbeing and health employee “winners.” And, promote a healthier lifestyle by sponsoring workers who wish to enter a local 5K for charity race, run a marathon or play a sport.
