Wellness is an active process of increasing awareness and making choices towards a healthy and fulfilling life. This process is individualized and self-directed to reach one's ultimate potential. Practising wellness is affirming and encourages positive experiences.
Time for Personal Wellness
Wellness is a dynamic process of change and growth. There are many interrelated dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, environmental, and occupational. Each dimension is equally vital in the pursuit of optimum health.
Wellness is a choice, a lifestyle constructed towards the highest potential for wellbeing. It is also a process of developing awareness that health and happiness are not a destination but are achievable in the present.
The importance of wellness in the workplace
When it comes to workplace wellness, the question is not why, but why not.? Wellness is now increasingly important as the cost of healthcare rises. Instituting a wellness program shows that you are committed to your employees’ wellbeing.
Workplace Wellness is an investment that works much like any other investment. A company invests time and money to get a valuable outcome, which in this case is the health of employees. Engagement, motivation, strategy, and support are the keys to a successful workplace wellness program.
Creating a dynamic wellness program for your employee that speaks to their needs and incentivizes positive and healthy behaviour, is the best strategy to ensure long-term success and loyalty. You don’t need to hire new staff - only the advice of a Corporate Wellness Coach.
How can a Corporate Wellness Coach benefit your Organization?
Work related stress is rising at an alarming rate, and it has become a challenge for employers because high-level of stress results in low productivity and increased absenteeism.
According to a survey conducted by SSN, it was found that stress causes reduced employee performance, high error rate, poor quality work, and absenteeism. It also contributes to other health issues such as anxiety, emotional disorder; work-life imbalance and depression.
Thus it is recommended that employers should proactively minimize stress by providing adequate Wellness support to employees
We know that coaching is the process of helping managers and employees improve their performance in a given field. The value of a coach is especially true for wellness, where it is difficult to make the right choices backed by willpower alone. For employees in a corporate wellness program, the helping hand from a wellness coach can make all the difference, that is why 80% of the employees who benefited from coaching programs claimed they need more of these services in their companies
A study by the global wellness institute states that wellness coaches encourage and support employees to implement healthy lifestyle behaviours they can control, and guide them to make positive changes, improve their health, and build resilience.
According to Dr Kenneth R. Pelletier, director of the Corporate Health Improvement Program (CHIP) in the United States, ''COVID-19 has accelerated this trend because companies have had to disperse their workforce. Companies have had to find ways to offer wellness programs off-site and at home. The solution was inter-digitizing health and wellness coaches into a corporate program at home.
Also, the Harvard Business Review stated that employee wellness programs have a clear measurable return. They found that, on average, employers who invested in comprehensive health and wellness initiatives saw a nearly 3-to-1 return in money saved.
Another study by CMI (Chartered Management Institute) shows how wellness coaching in the UK helped employees achieve their goals in 3 months rather than 1 year!
