Why should you consider a wellness coaching program for your company or business? The answer is simple:
Healthy employees are happier, work harder, and are more productive – in other words, they are assets. Unhealthy employees will drain morale and company resources, and are generally liabilities.
These are some of the ways that unhealthy employees can negatively impact your business:
- Frequent absenteeism.
- Frequent health insurance claims and higher insurance rates for you.
- Higher rates of employee turnover means lost time training new employees.
- Lower morale in the workplace means lower productivity.
Of course, healthier employees will deliver the opposite results. Healthy workers are absent less often, business plans can move forward without delays, insurance rates are lower, and the workforce is much happier. This will translate into higher productivity and ultimately, higher profits.
A Health and Wellness program can help your company to achieve these results by improving three factors in your employees’ lives – the health of their bodies, minds and spirits.
Wellness of the body will help them to improve any current health issues they may be experiencing and to prevent future health problems down the road. Employees will learn how to curb unhealthy lifestyle choices and risky behaviors, such as addictions, overeating or being sedentary.
Wellness of the mind will decrease stress and improve self-image. Your employees will gain more confidence and higher self-esteem, which will lead to higher self-motivation.
Wellness of the spirit comes directly from the previous two. Employees will have an overall feeling of wellness and improved health. They will feel more positive towards life, and this will lead to better relationships at home and at work.
