How to Start a Corporate Health and Wellness Program

What is the easiest way to increase your lifespan, improve your quality of life AND to decrease your company healthcare costs by thousands of dollars?

Did you know that currently 62% of companies with 200+ employees provide wellness programs? There is a great reason for this – comprehensive wellness programs WORK. They result in healthier and happier employees who are able to perform better at all levels.

So how can you implement a health and wellness program in your company? Here’s a great list of ideas: http://www.corporate-wellness-companies.com/corporate-wellness-program-ideas.html How do you kick off your new program?

Start with a branded health/fitness journal for those who sign-up to participate. This is a great way to encourage your employees and a terrific way for individuals to keep up with progress. Our journals even give great tips on eating and staying in shape!

Or, how about kicking off your wellness program with a stainless steel water bottle and pedometer? Have Friday Funday contests to see who can put the most miles on their pedometer each week!

If you already have a health and wellness program in your company, think about re-energizing it with incentive gifts for participation, meeting goals and exceeding goals. Try incentive gives that promote healthy activity such as logod golf balls, jump ropes, workout (yoga) mats, Ogio gym bags, Frisbees, and dryfit sports apparel. Here’s to happy and healthy living!
