Wellness is a state of overall health that incorporates physical, mental, spiritual, social and emotional attitudes and activities into daily living.
Corporate Wellness is all of those things and more because those attitudes and activities directly relate to your profit line. If your workplace environment is healthy and safe, then you will have healthy corporate wellness.
But to have Wellness you have to have FUN. For without FUN, you can't have FUNction! Studies have shown that when people are content and having fun they function better. We recognize that the world of business is not all fun and games, however, a healthy workplace environment, leads to better function.
A recent Angus Reid poll indicates that on-site fitness and wellness programs are among the top three benefits employees are requesting. And according to a recently completed 10 year survey by Canada Life Assurance, employees who regularly participated in a fitness and health program showed:
- Consistently lower absenteeism
- Reduced cardiovascular risk
- Improved fitness levels
All of those things lead to greater productivity, lower costs, and higher profit. However, a day's absence by an employee can involve paying for replacement staff, recruiting and training time, as well as an overall loss in productivity. In fact, a factor of 1.75 multiplied by the day's wage, is used to calculate the cost of a single day's absence.
