How can our company increase participation in the corporate wellness program?

Having a corporate wellness program in place can boost morale, improve fitness and health and increase productivity in the workplace. Now that you have taken the steps necessary to begin a corporate wellness program, how do you get your employees interested and willing to participate?

By implementing healthy consuming habits, exercise and offering incentives, your staff members will not only sign up for the wellness program, but they’ll stick with it.

Does your corporation have an onsite fitness club that staff members have access to? If not, offering free or discounted fitness club memberships to a local fitness club can be an effective method for getting staff members to exercise. Whether the fitness club is on or off-site however, permitting staff members to use the facility during work hours, like on their lunch break, will increase the likelihood that they will exercise.

Rewarding employees’ achievements is another way to keep them aroused and living a healthful lifestyle. Establishing corporation objectives such as collectively walking a certain number of miles, supports team building. Offering incentives such as gift cards, certificates of achievement, and even a day off work may be effective ways to keep participation levels up.

Since there will likely be less sick days being used due to illness, your company could  be able to afford to offer a day off pass as an incentive. These incentives do not have to be expensive, just valuable to the employee.

Providing a healthful lunch once a week for workers participating in the corporate health plan, is a excellent way to promote healthful consuming. Offering an incentive of healthful, delicious, free food is one way to reward workers for their efforts while supporting their new healthful lifestyle.

Having a corporate wellness program in place will provide long term benefits to both the corporation and the staff members. This is one corporate plan that is certainly worth your time and money!
