As the modern workforce becomes increasingly aware of the importance of a good work-life balance, employees pursue more than just a paycheck. Beyond fair compensation, health insurance, and other standard employee benefits, more employees are choosing organizations that prioritize employee wellness — this means considering their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Hosting a wellness day at work or implementing ongoing health and wellness office ideas can help create a healthier and more engaged workforce.
Global Wellness Day honors the importance of overall well-being. Although this special day is celebrated annually on the second Saturday of June. However, organizations can honor employee wellness any day of the year through a wellness fair or various wellness activities for the workplace that encourage healthy habits.
When organizations invest in employee wellness, they invest in more than employee health — they also invest in productivity, job satisfaction and much more. Supporting employee wellness can reduce turnover rates and even attract top talent.
One study found that 72% of employers noticed reduced health care costs following the implementation of wellness programs. The same study found these programs also reduced employee absenteeism by between 14% and 19%. Investing in group wellness activities and wellness programs offers organizations as many benefits as employees.
The world of wellness activities for the workplace is unarguably vast. Organizations have a wide range of workshops and classes to choose from — below are some fun corporate wellness activities to consider.
Beginner yoga classes offer a great way to introduce your employees to mindful movement. Yoga offers many physical and mental benefits, including:
If your employees sit at desks for most of the day, a yoga break can help them correct their posture and become more in tune with their bodies. An experienced yoga instructor can help your team learn the basics and reap the many advantages of this low-impact workout.
Mindfulness and meditation practices help individuals manage stress and emotions. Guided mindful meditation classes offer employees a range of valuable benefits, including improved sleep quality, stress reduction and enhanced self-awareness. Research also shows that meditation may improve symptoms of stress-related conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and irritable bowel syndrome.
Diet and nutrition are key players in health and wellness. Following a balanced diet reduces the risk of developing several chronic diseases, ranging from heart disease and diabetes to various types of cancers. However, studies reveal that roughly 85% of people inaccurately assess the quality of their diets. Of that 85%, 99% of study respondents overrated the nutritional quality of their diet, suggesting that nutritional classes could prove beneficial.
Corporate wellness programs centered around healthier food choices and essential nutrition are a reliable way to ensure your employees have the knowledge required to improve their health. These classes can guide employees through nutrition facts and cooking tips.
Help your team enjoy a healthier lifestyle in and out of the office by inviting a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist to demonstrate how to cook a nutritious and balanced meal. The instructor can share practical tips and tricks for mastering a delicious at-home dish.
Cooking their own meals can help your employees eat more fresh, whole ingredients that fuel their bodies. It can also save them money by skipping restaurant or fast food prices.
Hobbies like reading play an essential role in work-life balance. Engaging in hobbies can reduce stress, improve mental health, develop skills, and enhance productivity. While organizations can encourage employees to indulge in hobbies by ensuring they have enough time off, they can also implement wellness workshops focused on hobbies like reading.
Starting a book club in the workplace requires no external support. Employees who enjoy reading can take part in monthly book club meetings during designated work hours. The club can meet at a time that fits employee schedules, and organizations can provide refreshments and access to reading materials. Additionally, the club can bring in experts related to the books they read to provide greater insight. For example, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist can provide additional context if the book club chooses to read a book about living a healthy lifestyle.
Happy hours are a common way for employees to connect and unwind after a long day. Investing in a healthier happy hour workshop can help your team members learn about better alcoholic drink options, nonalcoholic alternatives and nutritious snack pairings to support their wellness.
Your team can also learn about cultivating a relaxing environment to connect with co-workers without relying on alcohol for entertainment.
Properly fueling the body is key to feeling one’s best. You can invite a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist to share insights with your employees on how to fuel up before, during and after a workout to maximize their energy levels and feel great. Consuming the right kinds of foods and staying hydrated helps optimize performance, recovery and overall well-being.
Prepping meals in advance can be highly valuable for corporate workers who are short on time but want to eat healthy, well-rounded dishes. A wellness workshop dedicated to meal prep and healthy cooking tips can teach your employees how to grocery shop, cook and store meals to enjoy all week long.
Your team can leverage meal prepping to save money, reduce stress and ensure they always have a balanced meal for lunch.
