Tips and tools to promote wellness at work

Worksite wellness is not just a buzzword, but a concept and evolving practice that an increasing number of businesses are adopting as a strategy to address high healthcare and insurance costs, productivity, recruitment, and retention. Worksite wellness is also becoming important in increasingly competitive hiring and retention environment. A prospective employee might choose a position based on the wellness opportunities offered at an organization or in the surrounding community.

Whether or not a business provides health insurance, employee health is important to consider. Employees experiencing health issues are more likely to call in sick or struggle with presenteeism when at the office compared to their healthier peers. As the average full-time worker may spend over one-third of their day at work, employers can do a lot to positively influence worker health and satisfaction. The ultimate goal of Healthy By Design is for healthy choices to become easy, and healthy habits the norm.
