What is Wellness?
“Wellness” represents a whole-person, balanced approach to being in good mental and physical health. It includes occupational, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, mental, physical, and familial wellness – all of which impact each other. Achieving a “well” state is not only life-affirming, but it allows people to reach their full potential.
What is Workplace Wellness?
Workplace Wellness is any workplace health promotion activity or organizational policy designed to support healthy behavior among employees and to improve health outcomes.
It can consist of diverse activities such as:
• on-site health education / fairs
• free medical screenings
• health coaching / weight loss
• stress management
• smoking cessation programs
• on-site fitness programs and facilities / health club memberships
• company wellness competitions
• mobile and Web-based education and social platforms
