Employee Wellness Programs

 

What Is an Employee Wellness Program?

If you're thinking about starting an employee wellness plan or program, you're undoubtedly wondering if your small business can afford it and what the advantages are. Small and mid-sized businesses must stretch their budgets farther and must ensure that every dollar spent on an employee perk benefits the business in some way, despite the fact that huge corporations may have the resources to implement a comprehensive program. Thankfully, there are many different sizes and types of employee wellness programs, some of which are perfect for a company your size.

 

Planning Your Employee Wellness Program

Even a straightforward employee wellness program needs to be planned out. Watch it come together as you go step by step.

Create a budget for the program

Determine the budget you can set aside for your wellness program while taking the cost of the activities you and your employees want to participate in into account. If you're beginning it after the start of your fiscal year, you might simply want to budget and prepare for the remaining portion of the year. In this approach, you may evaluate how the events are going, how many workers are taking part, the outcomes so far, and what you'd like to change going forward.

Try a variety of ideas: 

You have the first year to experiment with various employee health initiatives, so try to mix things up as much as you can.

 

Exercise of some kind.

A minimum of one relaxing method, such yoga or meditation.

A strategy for eating healthily at work, including placing nutritious food in vending machines.

 The day when several medical procedures, including flu vaccines and blood pressure checks, are performed in a clinic.

Therapists that specialize in neck and shoulder massage.       

 

Ask for feedback:

 

Give participants rating forms so they can provide anonymous feedback after each session. Let them know that you want their frank opinions on the activity. After all, organizing and hosting an event requires money and time (and time equals money to a business), so if people don't enjoy it, the company's funds would be better used elsewhere.
