Summer Wellness

Wellness During the Summer

Wellness is important all year long; however if your workers haven’t gotten on the Wellness bandwagon, then now is the perfect time to get them there.

Summer is an ideal season to get back into shape and enhance overall Wellness.  The weather is beautiful, workers can get outside and they are motivated by the thought of having to wear clothes with less coverage.  Fitness, or lack of physical fitness, is apparent in the summer.

Wellness in the Summer has Advantages

There are many advantages to starting a Employer Health Promotion Program in the Summer.  Employees are more likely to get outside and walk or participate in group activities during the summer than they are in the cooler months of the fall and winter.  Summer is also a great time to start a Wellness challenge with your workers and celebrate the completion of the challenge with a member picnic or cookout.  Finally, it always seems easier to eat healthy during the summer with all the fresh vegetables and fruits that are available during this time.

Employer Health Promotion Program Kick-off

We recommend following these steps when starting a Employer Health Promotion Program in your office.

Pick a wellness coordinator for the Employer Health Promotion Program who is willing and able to see it through.
Make sure that you have the support of organization leadership.
Establish a Wellness committee
Make use of a Employer Health Promotion Program survey to uncover the obstacles and goals of your Employer Health Promotion Program
Provide Health Risk Assessments / Health Risk Appraisals
Analyze the Employer Health Promotion Program and changes as needed
Remember to stress that the Employer Health Promotion Program is for the employees.  Corporate Wellness Programs have been found to prevent obesity, cancer, heart disease and hypertension.  taking part in in a Employer Health Promotion Program that provides all that should be an easy decision for the corporation and for the workers.
