As more companies prioritize employee wellbeing and the employee experience, they start to think about a wellness program. It's not as easy as hiring a yoga instructor, but maybe you could start there?
I spoke with Reena Vokoun (again). She's the owner of Passion Fit which works with employers to build meaningful wellness programs. She also wrote The Wellness Empowered Woman. Here are a few of Reena's tips to keep in mind as you develop your program:
💰 Make sure you have the money and support before you start.
👯♀️ Consider how to offer individualized content: Not all employees have the same needs when it comes to wellness. Consider offering one-on-one in addition fitness classes, nutrition coaching, and mental health resources.
🥵 Wellness programs don't replace healthy workplaces like reasonable workloads and supportive management.
🎓 Recognize the social determinants of health and do what you can: Health is impacted by factors beyond individual behaviors, such as access to healthy food, education, and healthcare among others.
🧑🚒 Involve employees in developing their programs: They are the experts on their own wellness needs.
