As a manager or HR professional, your job is to ensure that your employees are fulfilling their duties required of them in their job description. When you took your current job, part of that job is guaranteeing that all your employees are happy, healthy and safe in your work environment. Workplace wellness may just be a fraction of your job duties, but it should be one that you care about now more than ever. Here’s what you need to know about workplace wellness and how to return to the office in 2020 with health in mind.
What is corporate wellness?
Workplace/corporate health and wellness is incredibly important when it comes to the success of your company—it keeps the cogs in the machine moving. Workplace health and wellness can be defined as the practice of an employer taking responsibility for the health, well-being and longevity of its employees, both in and out of the office. It can come in many forms, including comprehensive programs that will empower and reward employees for maintaining healthy habits. Some of these habits include:
It is incredibly beneficial to both the employees and the company to have a well-established workplace wellness program in place. Employees will reap the benefits of the various offers available to them within the program, which will allow them to have a healthy mind, body and soul.
For employers, the trade-off is as simple as this: healthier employees are less likely to miss work due to illness, and in turn, may save your company healthcare costs. Think about it like this—investing in your employees may seem like a big task right now, but once you invest your time and energy into their well-being, there is potential for a huge return on your investment in no time. Healthier, happier employees are worth the time it takes to set up a wellness program.
As a manager, you can be the advocate for your employees to receive the health and wellness program that they deserve.
How will workplace wellness work in 2020, given our current situation with COVID-19?
2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, especially those who have been adjusting to working from home and balancing work with their everyday lives. Now, some of those people are learning how to readjust back into their routine at the office, while still in the middle of a pandemic. Every day brings a new set of challenges, whether that is learning how to carve out time for exercise or how to simply unwind after a stressful day at the office. No matter the circumstances of your employees, at home or in the office, they are in need of some self-care.
For those who are returning to the office, it can be even more difficult to find a wellness program that everyone will love. It is important to make everyone feel as though they are valued and safe, despite being in the middle of a global pandemic.
