Why do you need a workplace wellness program

Workplace wellness programs are important for employers because they can reduce the number of sick days employees take each year and increase productivity. Employees who participate in workplace wellness programs also report a reduction in their stress levels and an improvement in their overall health.   Workplace wellness programs provide a work environment that seeks to promote physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being. They typically include activities such as exercise classes or free healthy snacks.

These types of programs have been shown to improve employee morale and decrease turnover rates which save time on recruitment efforts by employers. The cost of implementing a workplace wellness program is often offset by savings from reduced medical claims expenses for the company over time because employees will be healthier overall when given access to these sorts of resources
