ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CORPORATE WELLNESS

The most common answer to the question: ‘Why aren't you exercising?' isn't lack of knowledge of the importance it has for a person's health, but lack of time.

80% of Americans don't get the recommended amount of exercise each week, and it doesn't help that many adults' days are spent in an office building practically glued to their chairs in front of a computer. Workplace wellness programs are seeking to address these issues.

The reports say that people who sit for more than half the day double their risk of diabetes and cardiovascular problems. So, how do we tackle this problem?

So your employees aren't really doing it for you these days. They're not-so-slyly checking their Instagram at five-minute increments, you have mistaken several of them for actual zombies and overall productivity has taken a nosedive. Time to find new employees, right?

Every employer would love to know that their employees look forward to going to work. When people love their jobs, it creates a better atmosphere for everyone. Who doesn't want to be happy in the position where they spend 40+ hours of every week? And who doesn't want to be around happy coworkers

Employees have so many demands on their time. They want to be productive and to maintain a work-life balance. They will take advantage of corporate wellness initiatives and different work schedules and task assignments when offered.

Nowadays, most companies are interested in promoting a better company culture. And this can mean many things, from introducing yoga and meditation classes to encouraging employees to socialize more with each other.

There's no denying that the corporate wellness trend has taken deep roots in the modern corporate culture. From trucking depots to law offices, the health and wellness of employees has become a major employer concern.

In every industry across the country, employee wellness is becoming an increasingly hot-button issue. Time and time again studies have shown us that sitting or even standing all day with minimal activity is bad for your health.

Employee engagement in the workplace is essential to manage turnover, absence and boost performance.

You may have heard the term "constructive criticism." Maybe you have even been on the receiving end of it, possibly from a parent, a teacher or a boss. The fact is that, no matter how you phrase it, criticism stings.

The popularity of standing desks has been rising steadily in the past few years as both companies and employees alike realize how much more comfortable it is, despite every preconceived notion, to stand all day instead of sitting.

As the industrial sector is shifting towards full automation and more people than ever work desk-bound jobs, health and fitness are becoming more important than ever.
