As we enter a new year, it’s the perfect time for companies to hit reset on employee health and wellness. The start of 2024 allows for a fresh start to build habits that reduce burnout and improve wellbeing in the office.
Here are 5 impactful New Year’s resolutions to consider for advancing your corporate wellness programming:
- Office Massages
Offering professional massage therapy on-site is a great way to promote self-care and relaxation in the workplace. Even short 15-20 minute chair or foot massages can provide powerful benefits for employee health. Regular office massages can reduce stress, improve circulation and posture, and increase productivity. Employees will appreciate the investment in their wellbeing. Consider booking our experienced massage team to visit the office weekly or bi-weekly.
- Develop Wellness Education
Implement “Lunch and Learn” sessions on topics like sleep, stress management, nutrition, fitness, promoting a growth mindset and more. Let us bring in expert speakers to run these sessions over a lunch time. These sessions support employee growth by offering useful and relevant wellbeing education and make attendance convenient during the workday.
- Make Healthy Habits easy
Book one of our Pilates or yoga teachers to come to your office for on the hour or half hour lunch time 30 min dynamic sessions. By offering these short classes at multiple times across the mid afternoon, everyone who wants to participate, can and short format classes like these don’t eat into the day or require much commitment from staff.
- Add a Wellness Room
Convert a spare meeting room into a relaxing wellness room. Stock it with yoga mats, foam rollers, meditation cushions and calming decor. Add scented candles or an oil burner. Employees will appreciate having a designated space to take a mental break, stretch, or re set during hectic days. This improves focus, energy and mood.
- Form Wellness Committees
Creating employee-led wellness committees or clubs helps drive engagement. Have volunteers coordinate activities like monthly themed events, guest speaker sessions, or friendly wellness competitions between departments. This grassroots approach means more employee input and passion for company health initiatives.
In today’s high-stress work environment, it’s more important than ever for companies to prioritize the health and wellbeing of their employees. Unhealthy, burnt-out workers lead to lower engagement, reduced productivity and increased absenteeism. That’s why forward-thinking organizations are partnering with us to improve their workplace wellness.
