Workplace wellness is any workplace health promotion activity or organizational policy designed to support healthy behavior in the workplace and to improve health outcomes.

 

Research has proven that wellness programs in the workplace save businesses money and make for happier, more productive employees, which means more loyalty, lower absenteeism, better workforce morale and less employee turnover, not to mention attracting a better quality staff with optimal psychological and physical health.

 

Here are the facts. Healthier people work harder, are happier, help others and are more efficient. Unhealthy workers are generally sluggish, fatigued and unhappy, as the work is a symptom of their way of life. It’s a no-brainer to install a wellness program at every company, no matter the size or what product or service the company provides.

 

Workplace wellness doesn’t have to mean on-site gyms and in-house personal trainers. Small companies may be able to encourage healthy living and offer compelling perks to employees without spending a lot of money and time putting together a plan.

 

The payoff can be big for many employers. Reports show that healthier employees show up to work more often, are more productive, and visit the doctor less frequently. As Dr. Oz recently mentioned on his show, Reiki energy healing is ultimately the most important alternative medicine today and can help whatever is ailing you.
